Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the development of kinase inhibitors, particularly for targeting cancer-related enzymes such as ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase) and EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor). Its structure supports high binding affinity and selectivity, making it valuable in designing drugs for non-small cell lung cancer and other solid tumors. Also explored in agrochemicals for developing novel pesticides due to its stability and bioactivity.
