Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Its structure supports the formation of biologically active compounds that target specific signaling pathways in tumor cells. Also employed in medicinal chemistry research to design new heterocyclic compounds with potential antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. The ester and amino groups allow for easy functionalization, making it valuable in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies during drug discovery.
