Used in pharmaceutical research as a potent and selective inhibitor of certain kinase enzymes involved in inflammatory and immune responses. Shows potential in the development of treatments for autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. Also investigated for its anti-cancer properties due to its ability to modulate signaling pathways in tumor cells. Its structure allows for good oral bioavailability, making it a candidate for oral drug formulations. Currently primarily used in preclinical studies to evaluate efficacy and safety profiles.
