Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of anti-inflammatory and analgesic compounds. Its structure supports the modulation of biological activity in drug candidates targeting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes. Commonly employed in research settings for designing new nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) with improved selectivity and reduced side effects. Also utilized in agrochemical research for developing bioactive molecules with pesticidal or herbicidal properties. The compound’s halogenated aromatic system enhances binding affinity in various biological assays, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry optimization.
