Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and other bioactive molecules. Its structure allows for effective modulation of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme activity, contributing to anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to the stability and metabolic resistance provided by the cyclopropyl group. Also utilized in the preparation of prodrugs and derivatives aimed at improving pharmacokinetic properties such as absorption and half-life.
