Used in pharmaceutical research as a heterocyclic scaffold for developing bioactive molecules with potential antiviral, antibacterial, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. Its structure supports the design of compounds that enhance drug stability, binding affinity, and efficacy against cellular targets. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for kinase inhibitors, CNS-active agents, and treatments for chronic diseases like diabetes and cancer, due to its ability to cross biological membranes and inhibit relevant enzymes. Also found in some agrochemicals as a building block for novel pesticides.
