Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of kinase inhibitors, particularly those targeting tyrosine kinases involved in cancer cell proliferation. Shows potential in the development of anti-tumor agents due to its ability to cross cell membranes and inhibit specific signaling pathways. Also employed in studies focused on improving selectivity and potency of anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic drugs. Its structure supports binding to ATP pockets in enzymes, making it valuable in designing targeted therapies.
