Used primarily in research settings as a potent and selective histamine H3 receptor antagonist. It is valued for its ability to modulate neurotransmitter release in the central nervous system, making it a tool compound for studying cognitive functions, attention, and wakefulness. Due to its pharmacological profile, it has been investigated for potential applications in models of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, and ADHD. It is also used to explore the role of histaminergic signaling in sleep-wake cycles and memory formation. Not intended for clinical use in humans.
