Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Its structure supports binding to specific enzyme targets involved in cell signaling pathways, making it valuable in oncology research. Also utilized in the preparation of antihypertensive drugs due to its ability to modulate biological activity in cardiovascular systems. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to optimize drug potency and selectivity.
