Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), particularly in the development of pyrazole-based pharmaceuticals. It serves as a key building block for compounds exhibiting analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory properties. Its structure allows for easy modification to enhance biological activity and selectivity. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry research for optimizing drug candidates targeting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes. Also utilized in the preparation of derivatives for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
