Used as a research compound in neuroscience for its selective GABAB receptor antagonism, particularly in studies related to cognitive enhancement and anxiety modulation. Demonstrates anxiolytic and procognitive effects in animal models, making it valuable in exploring treatments for anxiety disorders and cognitive deficits associated with neurological conditions. Also employed to investigate the role of GABAB receptors in seizure regulation and motor control. Not approved for clinical use; strictly limited to preclinical research.
