Used primarily in neuroscience research as a selective agonist for serotonin 5-HT1A receptors. It helps investigate the role of these receptors in mood regulation, anxiety, depression, and neuroendocrine function. Commonly applied in animal studies to assess behavioral responses and neural pathways involved in psychiatric conditions. Also used to study receptor desensitization and signal transduction mechanisms in cellular models. Its high selectivity makes it a valuable tool for pharmacological profiling of serotonergic drugs.
