Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in the preparation of biologically active molecules due to its amine functionality and heteroaromatic structure, enabling coupling reactions and further functionalization. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies, especially in optimizing drug candidates targeting neurological and oncological pathways. Its methoxy and methyl substituents enhance lipophilicity and influence binding affinity, making it valuable in designing CNS-active agents.
