Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of bioactive molecules targeting central nervous system disorders. Shows potential in the development of compounds with neuroprotective and cognitive-enhancing properties. Also explored for its role in modulating neurotransmitter receptors, particularly those involved in mood regulation and neurodegenerative diseases. Investigated for possible application in treating conditions like Alzheimer’s and depression due to its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and interact with neural pathways.
