Used in pharmaceutical research as a potential inhibitor of inflammatory and oncogenic pathways. Shows activity in modulating signaling proteins involved in cancer cell proliferation and apoptosis. Investigated for its antitumor properties, particularly in studies related to kinase inhibition and suppression of tumor growth in preclinical models. Also explored for anti-inflammatory effects due to structural features that interact with cellular targets like NF-κB and cytokine production pathways. Its furan and quinazoline moieties contribute to binding affinity with biological targets, making it a scaffold for developing new therapeutic agents.
