Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of peptide-based pharmaceuticals and bioactive molecules. Its structure supports the formation of stable cyclic frameworks, making it valuable in drug design for enhancing metabolic stability and binding affinity. Commonly employed in the development of protease inhibitors and targeted therapies where molecular rigidity and hydrogen bonding capacity are critical. Also utilized in research settings for constructing heterocyclic compounds with potential antimicrobial or anticancer activity.
