Used in pharmaceutical research as a potent and selective inhibitor of protein kinases, particularly involved in signaling pathways related to inflammation and cancer. Shows promise in the development of targeted therapies for autoimmune diseases and certain types of tumors due to its ability to modulate key cellular processes. Its structure allows for high binding affinity and improved pharmacokinetic properties, making it suitable for oral administration in preclinical studies. Also employed as a chemical probe to study kinase-dependent biological mechanisms in cell cultures and animal models.
