Used as a potent inhibitor in biochemical research, particularly targeting kinases involved in cell signaling pathways. It shows promise in studies related to cancer therapy due to its ability to selectively interfere with tumor cell proliferation and survival. Commonly employed in in vitro assays to modulate enzyme activity and investigate signal transduction mechanisms. Its structure allows for strong binding interactions with specific protein targets, making it valuable in the development of new therapeutic agents. Also utilized in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to optimize drug candidates.
