Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of kinase inhibitors, particularly those targeting tyrosine kinases involved in cancer cell proliferation. Shows potential in developing anti-tumor agents due to its ability to modulate signaling pathways in malignant cells. Also employed in the design of anti-inflammatory compounds by targeting specific enzymes in the arachidonic acid pathway. Its structural features make it suitable for optimizing binding affinity and selectivity in drug candidates.
