Used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in the development of neuroprotective agents and central nervous system (CNS) active compounds. It shows potential in the design of inhibitors targeting enzymes involved in neurodegenerative diseases. Its structure supports blood-brain barrier permeability, making it valuable in creating drugs for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Also explored in the synthesis of anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents due to its ability to modulate cellular signaling pathways.
