Used in pharmaceutical research as an intermediate for synthesizing bioactive compounds, particularly in the development of drugs targeting neurological disorders and inflammation. Shows potential in the creation of novel antipsychotic and antidepressant agents due to its structural similarity to known CNS-active molecules. Also employed in the study of histamine receptor ligands, contributing to allergy and gastric secretion research. Its amine functionality allows for easy derivatization, making it valuable in combinatorial chemistry and high-throughput screening for new therapeutic candidates.
