Used as a potent inhibitor in biochemical research, particularly in studies involving kinase enzymes. It modulates signaling pathways linked to cell growth and inflammation, making it valuable in the development of therapeutic agents for cancer and autoimmune diseases. Commonly employed in in vitro assays to assess target specificity and inhibition efficacy due to its high selectivity and solubility in aqueous buffers. Also utilized in structural activity relationship (SAR) studies to design improved analogs with enhanced pharmacokinetic properties.
