Used primarily as a research chemical in neuroscience and pharmacology studies, particularly for investigating structure-activity relationships of amine-based compounds. It serves as a synthetic intermediate in the development of potential psychoactive substances and is studied for its interaction with monoaminergic systems. Due to its structural similarity to known stimulants, it is also monitored in forensic toxicology for detection in new psychoactive substance screenings. Limited to laboratory use, with no approved medical or industrial applications.
