Used in pharmaceutical research as a potent and selective agonist for the adenosine A2A receptor, this compound is investigated for its potential in treating neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. It demonstrates neuroprotective properties and may enhance motor function by modulating dopamine signaling in the brain. Its structure allows for good blood-brain barrier penetration, making it valuable in preclinical studies for central nervous system therapies. Additionally, it serves as a chemical probe to study adenosine receptor function in immune regulation and inflammation.
