Used as a potent inhibitor in biochemical research, particularly targeting kinases involved in cell signaling pathways. It shows promise in studies related to cancer therapy due to its ability to selectively interfere with tumor cell proliferation and survival. Commonly employed in in vitro assays to modulate kinase activity and assess downstream effects on cell cycle progression and apoptosis. Also utilized in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies for the development of more effective anticancer agents.
