Used in research settings as a potential ligand for neurological receptors, particularly in studies related to serotonin and dopamine systems. Its structure supports investigation into central nervous system disorders, including anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to its complex heterocyclic and aromatic features. Also utilized in radiolabeled form for receptor binding assays to evaluate affinity and selectivity. Not intended for therapeutic use or human application.
