Used in research for its potential as a selective kinase inhibitor, particularly in studies related to cancer cell signaling pathways. Shows activity in modulating protein kinases involved in tumor growth and inflammation. Investigated for use in targeted therapies due to its ability to penetrate cell membranes and inhibit specific phosphorylation events. Also employed as a reference compound in high-throughput screening assays to identify new drug candidates. Not approved for clinical use; primarily utilized in preclinical laboratory research.
