Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of kinase inhibitors, particularly those targeting PI3K and mTOR pathways. Shows potential in development of anticancer agents due to its ability to modulate cell signaling involved in tumor growth and proliferation. Also explored for immunomodulatory applications in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Its structure supports high binding affinity to specific enzyme targets, making it valuable in optimizing drug candidates for improved selectivity and potency.
