Used in pharmaceutical research as a potential inhibitor in anticancer agents, particularly targeting tyrosine kinase pathways involved in tumor growth. Shows promising activity in cell-based assays for suppressing proliferation of cancer cells, especially in leukemia and solid tumors. Also investigated for its anti-inflammatory properties due to modulation of key signaling molecules like NF-κB. Serves as a lead compound in the development of small-molecule therapeutics with improved selectivity and potency.
