Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of kinase inhibitors, particularly for targeting tyrosine kinases involved in cancer cell proliferation. Shows potential in developing treatments for oncological and inflammatory diseases due to its ability to modulate signaling pathways. Also employed in the design of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for catalytic applications, leveraging its nitrogen-containing heterocyclic structure to coordinate with metal ions. Its derivatization enhances drug solubility and bioavailability in medicinal chemistry formulations.
