Used in pharmaceutical research as a kinase inhibitor, particularly in the development of targeted cancer therapies. It shows potential in inhibiting specific signaling pathways involved in tumor growth and proliferation. Due to its structural features, it is studied for activity against certain tyrosine kinases associated with oncogenic processes. Also employed as an intermediate in the synthesis of more complex bioactive molecules. Its fluorinated and ether-containing groups enhance cellular permeability and metabolic stability, making it suitable for in vitro and in vivo studies in drug discovery.
