Used as a selective inhibitor in biochemical research, particularly targeting specific kinase pathways involved in cellular signaling. It is utilized in studies related to inflammation and immune response modulation due to its ability to suppress pro-inflammatory cytokine production. Commonly applied in in vitro assays to investigate pathway mechanisms and assess therapeutic potential for autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. Its high selectivity makes it suitable for probing kinase function without significant off-target effects in cell-based models.
