Used as a key chiral intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of antiviral and antifungal drugs. Its imidazole-containing pyrrolidine structure enables effective binding to biological targets, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for designing enzyme inhibitors. Commonly employed in asymmetric synthesis to introduce stereochemical control, it helps optimize the potency and selectivity of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Also utilized in research settings for constructing peptidomimetic compounds and probing structure-activity relationships in drug candidates.
