This compound is primarily utilized in pharmaceutical research and development, particularly in the study of neurological disorders. It acts as a selective ligand for specific receptors in the brain, making it valuable for investigating conditions such as Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, and other psychiatric or neurodegenerative disorders. Its role in modulating receptor activity helps researchers understand the underlying mechanisms of these diseases and aids in the design of potential therapeutic agents. Additionally, it is used in preclinical studies to evaluate the efficacy and safety of new drug candidates targeting the central nervous system.
