Used in pharmaceutical research as a potent inhibitor of certain kinases involved in cancer cell proliferation. Shows promise in targeting tumor growth and angiogenesis, particularly in studies related to solid tumors. Its structure allows for strong binding to specific enzyme sites, enhancing selectivity and reducing off-target effects. Investigated for potential use in targeted therapies for cancers such as melanoma and non-small cell lung carcinoma. Also serves as a lead compound in developing analogs with improved bioavailability and metabolic stability.
