Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of central nervous system (CNS) active compounds. Shows potential in the development of antihistamines and anticholinergic agents due to its structural affinity for histamine and muscarinic receptors. Also explored for its role in creating novel nootropic and cognitive-enhancing drugs. Its azetidine core contributes to metabolic stability, making it valuable in optimizing drug candidates for improved bioavailability and brain penetration.
