Used primarily in scientific research as a pharmacological tool to study serotonin and dopamine receptors. It acts as a selective agonist at certain serotonin receptor subtypes, particularly 5-HT1A, making it valuable in neuroscience for investigating mood regulation, anxiety, and depression pathways. Also employed in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to develop new psychoactive compounds due to its piperazine-pyrrolidine core, which is common in many CNS-active drugs. Not used in clinical medicine but supports the development of novel therapeutics for psychiatric disorders.
