Used in pharmaceutical research as a potent and selective inhibitor of specific kinase enzymes involved in cell signaling pathways. Shows promise in the development of anticancer therapies due to its ability to induce apoptosis and inhibit proliferation in certain tumor cell lines. Also investigated for its potential in treating neurodegenerative diseases by modulating protein kinase activity linked to neuronal survival. Its structural complexity allows for high binding affinity and specificity, making it a valuable scaffold in drug design for targeted therapies.
