Used primarily as a research compound in pharmacological studies, this chemical exhibits potential as a central nervous system stimulant due to its structural similarity to adenosine receptor antagonists. It has been investigated for its nootropic and neuroprotective effects, particularly in models of cognitive impairment and neurodegenerative diseases. Its mechanism involves modulation of neurotransmitter systems, including dopamine and glutamate, making it a candidate for studying conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson’s diseases. Additionally, it may influence smooth muscle relaxation and has been explored for possible cardiovascular applications, such as vasodilation and anti-inflammatory effects in vascular tissues. Due to its lipophilic nature, it shows good blood-brain barrier penetration, enhancing its utility in neuroscience research.
