Used primarily in research as an intermediate for synthesizing biologically active compounds. Shows potential in the development of pharmaceuticals targeting parasitic infections and inflammatory conditions due to its benzimidazole core, which is known for antiparasitic and antiviral properties. Also employed in the study of receptor binding and enzyme inhibition, particularly in neuropharmacology. Its triphenylmethoxy group enhances lipophilicity, improving cell membrane permeability in experimental drug designs.
