Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and receptor antagonists. Its structure supports binding to biological targets involved in signaling pathways, making it valuable in drug discovery for cancer and neurological disorders. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for scaffold modification to enhance potency, selectivity, and pharmacokinetic properties of active compounds. Also utilized in research settings to design novel bioactive molecules with improved metabolic stability and target affinity.
