Used primarily as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for targeted cancer therapies. Its structure allows for strong binding interactions with enzyme active sites, making it valuable in drug design. It is also employed in the preparation of bioactive molecules with anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties. Due to its amine and heterocyclic functionalities, it serves as a building block in combinatorial chemistry for generating compound libraries in medicinal research.
