Used in pharmaceutical research as an intermediate for synthesizing bioactive compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other targeted therapies. Shows potential in studies related to anticancer agents due to its structural affinity with pyridine-based inhibitors. Also employed in the synthesis of novel nicotinate derivatives for evaluating antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity. Commonly utilized in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies involving nitrogen-containing heterocycles.
