Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules that target neurological and metabolic disorders. Its cyclopropane backbone with protected amine and carboxylic acid functionalities makes it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing constrained peptidomimetics. This compound enables the modulation of peptide stability and receptor selectivity, especially in drugs aiming at GABA receptors or amino acid transporters. It is also employed in the preparation of enzyme inhibitors and in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to its rigid structure that influences conformational restriction in drug candidates.
