Used in research as a selective inhibitor of protein kinases, particularly in studies related to cancer cell signaling pathways. It modulates kinase activity involved in tumor growth and proliferation, making it valuable in the development of targeted cancer therapies. Commonly applied in biochemical assays to investigate signal transduction mechanisms and to evaluate potential antitumor agents in preclinical models. Its structure allows for high binding affinity to specific kinase domains, enhancing its utility in molecular pharmacology studies.
