Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of tyrosine kinase inhibitors, particularly in anticancer drug development. Shows activity in targeting signaling pathways involved in tumor growth and angiogenesis. Applied in research for treating cancers such as leukemia, lung, and breast cancer. Also utilized in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug candidates due to its ability to enhance binding affinity and selectivity toward kinase enzymes. Studied for its potential in overcoming drug resistance in targeted therapies.
