Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Its structure supports the development of targeted therapies by mimicking purine bases, allowing integration into biological pathways involving ATP binding sites. Commonly employed in research for designing drugs with high selectivity and potency against specific protein kinases. Also utilized in agrochemicals for developing bioactive molecules with pesticidal or fungicidal properties. Serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry for optimizing pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles of new drug candidates.
