Used primarily in research settings as a selective inhibitor of kinases involved in inflammatory pathways, this compound shows potential in the development of anti-inflammatory and anticancer agents. It modulates cellular signaling by targeting specific protein kinases, making it valuable in studying disease mechanisms related to cell proliferation and immune response. Its structure allows for high binding affinity and selectivity, which is exploited in the design of more effective therapeutic candidates. Additionally, it serves as a scaffold in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug-like properties in kinase inhibitor programs.
