Used primarily in pharmaceutical research as an intermediate in the synthesis of bioactive compounds. It serves as a building block for developing kinase inhibitors and other agents targeting inflammatory and oncological pathways. Its bromo and methoxy functional groups allow for selective modifications via cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in structure-activity relationship studies. Also explored in the development of cannabinoid receptor modulators due to the indazole core’s affinity for such targets. Not intended for use in food, consumer products, or human therapeutics without extensive safety evaluation.
