Used in pharmaceutical research as an intermediate in the synthesis of bioactive compounds, particularly those targeting central nervous system disorders. Shows potential in the development of antioxidants and neuroprotective agents due to its structural similarity to known radical scavengers. Also employed in studies exploring anti-inflammatory and anticholinesterase activities for possible application in Alzheimer’s disease treatment. Its hydrochloride salt form enhances solubility and stability, making it suitable for in vitro and in vivo testing.
