Used primarily as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, especially in the development of central nervous system (CNS) agents. Its structure supports the creation of bioactive molecules due to the presence of two amine groups in a constrained cycloaliphatic framework, enhancing binding selectivity in drug-receptor interactions. Commonly employed in the preparation of analgesics and neuromodulatory compounds. Also utilized in the design of novel amine-containing derivatives for research in neuropharmacology. Its dihydrochloride salt form improves stability and solubility, making it suitable for use in aqueous reaction media and purification processes.
