Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Exhibits activity in modulating biological pathways involved in inflammation and cell proliferation. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry research to design potent and selective drug candidates targeting various oncogenic proteins. Also utilized in the preparation of small-molecule therapeutics with potential antiviral and antibacterial properties. Its structural features make it valuable in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to optimize drug efficacy and selectivity.
