Used primarily in pharmaceutical research, this compound functions as a selective inhibitor in signaling pathways related to inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. It has shown potential in modulating kinase activity, particularly targeting enzymes involved in immune cell activation. Due to its structural specificity and ability to cross cell membranes, it is investigated for use in treatments targeting chronic inflammation, neurodegenerative conditions, and certain cancers. Its nitrile and amine groups contribute to strong binding interactions with biological targets, enhancing its efficacy in preclinical studies.
