Used as a potent inhibitor in biochemical research, particularly targeting kinases involved in cell signaling pathways. It shows promise in studies related to cancer therapy due to its ability to selectively interfere with tumor cell proliferation and survival. Commonly employed in in vitro assays to evaluate kinase inhibition and cellular response in various cancer cell lines. Its structure allows for strong binding affinity to specific enzyme active sites, making it valuable in the development of targeted therapeutics. Also utilized as a reference compound in pharmacokinetic and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
