Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of selective kinase inhibitors, particularly those targeting tyrosine kinases involved in cancer cell proliferation. Its structure supports high binding affinity to specific enzyme active sites, making it valuable in developing targeted therapies for oncology. Also explored in the design of anti-inflammatory agents due to its modulatory effects on signaling pathways linked to immune response. Suitable for use in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to optimize drug potency and selectivity.
