Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of kinase inhibitors, particularly targeting protein kinases involved in inflammatory diseases and cancer. Shows potential in modulating cellular signaling pathways due to its ability to cross cell membranes and bind selectively to target enzymes. Also employed in the development of anti-infective agents owing to its structural affinity with biologically active quinoxaline derivatives. Commonly utilized in in vitro assays to study enzyme inhibition and receptor binding dynamics.
