Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of kinase inhibitors, particularly targeting tyrosine kinases involved in cancer cell proliferation. Shows potential in developing treatments for solid tumors due to its ability to cross cell membranes and bind effectively to target enzymes. Also explored for anti-inflammatory applications owing to its structural similarity to known bioactive nitrogen heterocycles. Currently under investigation in preclinical studies for optimizing drug candidates with improved selectivity and reduced toxicity.
