Used in pharmaceutical research as a key scaffold in the development of kinase inhibitors. Shows potential in targeting enzymes involved in inflammatory pathways and cancer progression. Its fused heterocyclic structure enhances binding affinity to specific protein targets, making it valuable in designing selective drugs. Also explored in dermatological treatments due to anti-proliferative and anti-inflammatory properties. Investigated for topical formulations to manage skin disorders like psoriasis and atopic dermatitis.
