Used in pharmaceutical research as a potent and selective inhibitor of certain kinases involved in inflammatory and oncogenic signaling pathways. Shows promise in the development of targeted cancer therapies, particularly in models of leukemia and solid tumors. Also investigated for its anti-inflammatory properties due to modulation of cytokine production. Its structure allows for good blood-brain barrier penetration, making it a candidate for central nervous system-related disease research. Commonly employed in preclinical studies to validate drug targets and optimize lead compounds.
