Used primarily in scientific research as a selective antagonist for the β3-adrenergic receptor. It helps investigate the role of β3 receptors in metabolic processes, thermogenesis, cardiovascular function, and urinary bladder control. Commonly applied in studies related to obesity, diabetes, heart function, and overactive bladder due to its ability to block β3-mediated responses in adipose tissue, the heart, and detrusor muscle. Also utilized in pharmacological assays to characterize receptor subtypes and signaling pathways. Not intended for clinical or therapeutic use in humans.
