Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of kinase inhibitors, particularly those targeting cancer-related enzymes such as cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). Its structure supports binding to ATP sites in kinases, making it valuable in developing anti-tumor agents. Also explored in medicinal chemistry for designing compounds with anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties. Shows potential in studies related to Alzheimer’s disease due to its ability to modulate enzyme activity involved in neurodegeneration.
