Used in pharmaceutical research as a potent and selective inhibitor of kinase enzymes, particularly implicated in cancer signaling pathways. Shows promising activity in blocking tumor cell proliferation and angiogenesis in preclinical models. Investigated for its potential in targeted therapies against solid tumors and hematological malignancies. Also serves as a lead compound in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to develop more effective analogs with improved pharmacokinetic profiles.
