Used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly as an intermediate in the production of vasodilator drugs and calcium channel blockers. It plays a key role in developing compounds that help treat cardiovascular conditions by relaxing blood vessels and improving blood flow. Also employed in agrochemical formulations for crop protection agents due to its ability to enhance molecular stability. Its structural properties, derived from nicotinic acid, make it valuable in research for designing new bioactive molecules, such as antioxidants and antimicrobials, and in the development of catalysts for organic reactions.
