Used in research settings as a selective inhibitor of protein-protein interactions, particularly targeting pathways involved in cellular signaling and immune response modulation. It is valued in studies exploring inflammatory diseases and cancer due to its ability to disrupt specific binding events critical for disease progression. Its dihydrochloride salt form enhances solubility and stability, making it suitable for in vitro and in vivo experimental models. Commonly applied in pharmacological assays to evaluate therapeutic potential and mechanism of action.
