Used as a potent and selective inhibitor in biochemical research, particularly targeting specific kinases involved in inflammatory and oncogenic signaling pathways. Its structure enables high binding affinity to certain protein targets, making it valuable in the development of therapeutic agents for cancer and autoimmune diseases. Commonly employed in cell-based assays and in vivo studies to modulate pathway activity and assess pharmacological responses. Due to its stereochemistry, it exhibits improved selectivity and reduced off-target effects compared to racemic analogs. Also utilized as a reference compound in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies for optimizing drug candidates.
