Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of histamine H3 receptor antagonists. Shows potential in developing treatments for neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and epilepsy due to its ability to modulate neurotransmitter release. Also investigated for anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties in preclinical studies. Its structure supports blood-brain barrier penetration, making it valuable in central nervous system drug design.
