Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for targeted cancer therapies. Its structure allows for selective binding to enzyme active sites, making it valuable in creating compounds that modulate cellular signaling pathways. It is also employed in the preparation of bioactive molecules with anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties. Due to its heterocyclic framework, it supports the design of novel drugs with improved metabolic stability and solubility.
