Used in pharmaceutical synthesis as a key intermediate for developing drugs targeting neurological disorders. Its structure supports the creation of compounds that modulate neurotransmitter activity, particularly those involved in cognitive function and mood regulation. Commonly found in research on treatments for depression, anxiety, and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. Also utilized in the development of nootropic agents due to its ability to enhance neural signaling. Employed in medicinal chemistry for designing molecules with improved blood-brain barrier penetration.
