Used primarily in research settings as an intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds. It serves as a building block in the development of pharmaceutical agents targeting central nervous system disorders due to its structural similarity to known neuroactive molecules. Its piperazine and pyrazole moieties make it valuable in medicinal chemistry for exploring new analogs with potential antipsychotic, anxiolytic, or antidepressant activity. Also employed in the preparation of receptor ligands, particularly for serotonin and dopamine receptors, aiding in the study of neurotransmission and drug-receptor interactions. Not intended for therapeutic use or human consumption.
