Used in the synthesis of antimalarial agents due to its quinoline core structure, which is known for activity against Plasmodium species. The compound serves as an intermediate in developing drugs that inhibit heme polymerization in the malaria parasite. Its amino alcohol and chloroquinoline groups enhance binding to parasitic targets, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug efficacy and resistance profiles. Also investigated for potential anti-inflammatory and anticancer applications owing to its ability to modulate cellular pathways.
