Used primarily in neuroscience research as a selective imidazoline I2 receptor agonist. It has been studied for its potential neuroprotective effects, particularly in models of neurodegenerative diseases and brain injury. Demonstrates anxiolytic and antidepressant-like properties in animal studies, making it a compound of interest in psychiatric disorder research. Also investigated for its role in modulating pain perception and opioid withdrawal symptoms. Due to its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, it is valuable in central nervous system pharmacology studies. Not intended for human use or clinical application.
