Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of central nervous system agents and receptor modulators. Its structure supports the creation of bioactive molecules due to the presence of both amine and pyridine functionalities, which are common in drug-like compounds. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing nitrogen-containing heterocycles with potential therapeutic activity. Also utilized in the preparation of ligands for catalysis and in the design of enzyme inhibitors.
