Used in pharmaceutical research as a key scaffold for developing kinase inhibitors. Its spirocyclic structure provides three-dimensional complexity that enhances binding selectivity to enzyme active sites. Commonly explored in the design of anti-inflammatory and anticancer agents due to its ability to modulate signaling pathways. Also investigated for central nervous system applications owing to its capacity to cross the blood-brain barrier. The compound's rigid framework supports improved metabolic stability and bioavailability in drug candidates.
