Used as a potent inhibitor in pharmaceutical research, particularly targeting enzymes involved in inflammatory and oncogenic pathways. Its structure allows selective binding to specific kinase targets, making it valuable in the development of anticancer agents. Commonly employed in preclinical studies to modulate cell signaling pathways, especially in models of leukemia and solid tumors. Also utilized in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to optimize indole-based inhibitors for improved metabolic stability and bioavailability.
