Used as a potent inhibitor in biochemical research, particularly targeting enzymes involved in inflammatory pathways. Shows promise in the development of anti-inflammatory and anticancer agents due to its ability to modulate specific cellular signaling pathways. Its structure allows for strong binding interactions with target proteins, making it valuable in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies for drug design. Frequently employed in in vitro assays to evaluate inhibition of kinase and protease activity. Also utilized as a lead compound in medicinal chemistry for optimizing pharmacokinetic properties in preclinical studies.
