Used in research settings to study inflammatory pathways and immune responses, particularly in models of autoimmune diseases. Shows potential as a selective inhibitor of specific signaling molecules involved in inflammation, making it a candidate for early-stage drug development. Investigated for its ability to modulate cellular responses in conditions like arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease. Also employed as a tool compound to understand the role of particular enzymes or receptors in disease progression. Not approved for clinical use; strictly for laboratory research.
