Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in the preparation of bioactive molecules due to the presence of both amine and sulfonamide functional groups, which are common in drug-like structures. Its structure allows for further derivatization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for optimizing potency and selectivity in drug candidates. Also employed in research settings for designing inhibitors targeting specific signaling pathways in diseases such as diabetes and inflammation.
