Used primarily in research settings as an intermediate for synthesizing pharmaceutical compounds targeting central nervous system disorders. Shows relevance in the development of antipsychotic and antidepressant agents due to its structural similarity to dibenzothiazepines known for dopamine and serotonin receptor modulation. Also employed in studies exploring histamine receptor interactions, particularly H1 and H4 subtypes, aiding in the design of novel allergy and inflammation treatments. Its salt form enhances solubility, making it suitable for in vitro assays and early-stage drug screening.
