Used in pharmaceutical research as an intermediate in the synthesis of centrally acting muscle relaxants. Shows potential in modulating neurological pathways related to muscle spasticity and convulsive disorders. Investigated for its role in enhancing GABAergic transmission, contributing to sedative and anticonvulsant effects in preclinical studies. Also explored for anxiolytic properties with reduced sedation compared to traditional benzodiazepines. Currently not approved for clinical use, limited to laboratory and experimental settings.
