Used in pharmaceutical research as a potential antitumor agent, showing activity against certain cancer cell lines. It has been investigated for its ability to inhibit specific kinases involved in cell proliferation and survival pathways. Also explored for anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties due to its structural features that interact with biological targets. Its furan and thiazole moieties contribute to enhanced binding affinity in enzyme inhibition studies. Currently limited to laboratory and preclinical studies, not approved for clinical use.
