Used as a research chemical in neuroscience studies for its action as a positive allosteric modulator of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, particularly the α7 subtype. It helps enhance cognitive function and synaptic transmission in experimental models, making it valuable in studying neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and schizophrenia. Also employed in pharmacological assays to investigate receptor mechanisms and signal transduction pathways. Not intended for human use or therapeutic application.
