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 active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) due to its ability to form stable amine-based structures that interact selectively with biological targets. Its pyridine and amine functionalities enhance binding affinity and solubility, making it valuable in drug design for improved efficacy and pharmacokinetics. Also employed in research settings for the development of novel therapeutic agents targeting neurological and inflammatory disorders.
