Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a scaffold in medicinal chemistry due to its ability to mimic purine bases, enabling interactions with biological targets such as enzymes and receptors. Commonly found in research for CNS-active compounds and anti-inflammatory agents. Also employed in agrochemicals for designing novel pesticides with improved selectivity. Its structural versatility supports optimization of pharmacokinetic properties in drug candidates.
