Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Its structure enables selective binding to enzyme active sites, making it valuable in designing drugs that target specific signaling pathways in tumor cells. Commonly employed in research settings to optimize potency and bioavailability of new oncology compounds. Also utilized in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to its ability to modulate molecular interactions in biological systems.
