Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry for constructing biologically active molecules targeting protein-protein interactions. Commonly employed in research settings to design analogs of natural products and bioactive indole derivatives. Its structure supports the creation of conformationally constrained peptides, enhancing metabolic stability and receptor selectivity. Also utilized in the preparation of neuroprotective agents and anti-inflammatory compounds during drug discovery processes.
