Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Exhibits strong potential in medicinal chemistry due to its ability to enhance binding selectivity and potency in targeted therapies. Also employed in the preparation of bioactive heterocyclic compounds with anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Its nitrile and amino functional groups allow for further chemical modifications, making it valuable in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies during drug design.
