Used in pharmaceutical synthesis as an intermediate for developing kinase inhibitors, particularly in the production of selective inhibitors targeting cancer-related enzymes. Commonly employed in research for antitumor drug development due to its ability to enhance binding selectivity in molecular structures. Also utilized in the preparation of bioactive compounds for neurological disorder studies, where its methoxy and amine functionalities contribute to blood-brain barrier penetration. Frequently applied in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies involving pyridine-based scaffolds.
