Used in pharmaceutical research as a potent and selective inhibitor of specific kinases involved in inflammatory and oncogenic signaling pathways. Demonstrates promising activity in preclinical studies for the treatment of autoimmune disorders and certain cancers, particularly due to its ability to modulate T-cell activation and suppress cytokine production. Its unique stereochemistry enhances target binding affinity and metabolic stability, making it a valuable scaffold in the development of small-molecule therapeutics. Also employed in probe compounds to study kinase function in cellular models.
