Used as a potent inhibitor in biochemical research targeting specific kinases involved in cellular signaling pathways. Its structure enables high selectivity and binding affinity, making it valuable in the development of therapeutic agents for inflammatory diseases and certain cancers. Commonly employed in in vitro assays to modulate kinase activity and study downstream effects on cell proliferation and apoptosis. Also utilized as a lead compound in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies during drug discovery to optimize pharmacokinetic properties and enhance biological activity.
