Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It plays a role in constructing active ingredients for targeted therapies, especially in oncology drugs that modulate signaling pathways involved in tumor growth. Its structure supports binding to specific enzyme sites, making it valuable in drug design for improved selectivity and potency. Also utilized in research settings to develop new compounds with potential anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective activities.
