Used primarily in research settings, this compound serves as a selective inhibitor targeting specific signaling pathways involved in inflammation and immune response. It is utilized to study cellular mechanisms related to cytokine production and has shown potential in modulating autoimmune and inflammatory conditions in preclinical models. Due to its ability to cross cell membranes effectively, it is favored in in vitro studies aiming to dissect kinase-dependent processes. Its application remains restricted to laboratory and experimental use, with no current approval for clinical or therapeutic use in humans.
