Used in scientific research as a building block for pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of central nervous system agents. Shows activity in studies related to dopamine and serotonin receptor modulation, making it relevant in the exploration of antipsychotic and antidepressant drugs. Also employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to its piperazine-piperidine scaffold, which is common in bioactive molecules. Not intended for therapeutic use or human consumption.
