Used in chemical and pharmaceutical research as a starting material or intermediate for synthesizing biologically active compounds, particularly those affecting the central nervous system, such as agents that interact with brain receptors or act as agonists or inhibitors of specific proteins. Commonly employed in the development of new molecules to study structure-activity relationships (SAR). May be utilized in research laboratories investigating neurological disorders, such as chronic pain, depression, or perceptual abnormalities. Handle with caution due to potential psychoactive effects; not for human use, misuse, or uncontrolled application. Strictly for laboratory and experimental studies.
