Used in pharmaceutical research as a key scaffold in the development of kinase inhibitors, particularly for targeting tyrosine kinases involved in cancer signaling pathways. Shows potential in oncology for inhibiting tumor growth and proliferation, especially in studies related to leukemia and solid tumors. Also explored for anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory applications due to its ability to modulate cellular signaling pathways. Its structure allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies during drug discovery.
