Used as a potent and selective inhibitor in pharmaceutical research, particularly in the development of kinase-targeted therapies. Shows promise in modulating signaling pathways involved in inflammatory diseases and certain cancers due to its ability to selectively bind to specific protein kinases. Its structure enables high affinity and specificity, making it a valuable scaffold in optimizing drug candidates for improved efficacy and reduced off-target effects. Also employed in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to develop more effective analogs with enhanced pharmacokinetic properties.
