Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceutical research targeting kinase inhibitors. Its structure supports the development of agents with potential anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties. The presence of the fluoroindazole moiety enhances binding affinity to certain enzyme targets, making it valuable in drug discovery. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to its rigid piperidine-indazole framework.
