Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of bioactive compounds targeting neurological disorders. Shows potential in modulating serotonin receptors, making it relevant for antidepressant and anxiolytic drug development. Also explored for its role in enhancing metabolic stability in central nervous system agents due to its indole and sulfonamide structural features. Investigated in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to optimize receptor binding affinity and selectivity.
