Used in pharmaceutical research as a key scaffold in the development of kinase inhibitors, particularly for targeting cancer-related enzymes such as mTOR and PI3K. Its structure enhances metabolic stability and binding affinity, making it valuable in designing orally active drugs. Also explored in agrochemicals for developing new fungicides due to its ability to interfere with pathogen cell signaling. Shows promise in medicinal chemistry for optimizing lead compounds with improved pharmacokinetic profiles.
