Used primarily in pharmaceutical research as an intermediate in the synthesis of centrally acting muscle relaxants. Its structure supports activity as a sigma receptor ligand, making it relevant in studies on neuroprotection and pain modulation. The compound has been investigated for potential therapeutic effects in neurological disorders due to its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and interact with neurotransmitter systems. It also serves as a key building block in developing analogs for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies targeting CNS diseases.
