Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It plays a role in the production of drugs targeting tyrosine kinases, which are involved in signal transduction pathways associated with tumor growth and proliferation. Its structure supports binding affinity and selectivity in active drug molecules, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug candidates. Also utilized in research settings to design and develop new bioactive molecules with potential therapeutic effects in oncology and inflammatory diseases.
