Used in research as a selective inhibitor of specific kinase enzymes, particularly in studies related to cell signaling pathways involved in cancer development. Shows potential in modulating protein-protein interactions in neurodegenerative disease models. Also employed as a fluorescent probe in biochemical assays due to its strong emission properties when bound to certain cellular targets. Investigated for use in positron emission tomography (PET) tracer development because of its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and bind to overexpressed receptors in tumor tissues.
