Used in pharmaceutical synthesis as an intermediate for developing antiviral agents, anticancer compounds, and central nervous system drugs. Its structure resembles pyrimidine bases (such as uracil) found in nucleic acids, enabling incorporation into DNA or RNA to inhibit viral replication, gene transcription, or cell proliferation. This similarity supports its use in creating nucleoside analogs and enzyme inhibitors, including potential kinase modulators. Employed in research settings to design novel drug candidates targeting cancer, viral infections, neurological disorders, and inflammation. Also utilized in agrochemical research for developing pesticides and plant growth regulators. Its ability to form hydrogen bonds makes it valuable in crystal engineering and supramolecular chemistry studies.
