Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of kinase inhibitors, particularly for targeting tyrosine kinases involved in cancer cell proliferation. Shows potential in developing treatments for solid tumors and hematological malignancies. Also employed in the study of signal transduction pathways due to its ability to modulate enzyme activity. Its structure supports high binding affinity and selectivity, making it valuable in optimizing drug candidates for improved efficacy and reduced off-target effects.
