Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of kinase inhibitors, particularly for targeting tyrosine kinases involved in cancer cell proliferation. Shows potential in developing treatments for solid tumors due to its ability to enhance selectivity and metabolic stability in drug candidates. Also employed in the design of anti-inflammatory agents by modulating signaling pathways linked to immune response. Its structure supports improved bioavailability, making it valuable in optimizing lead compounds during drug development.
