Used as a research compound in pharmacological studies, particularly for its potential as a selective PPARδ (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta) agonist. It has been investigated for effects on lipid metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and energy homeostasis, making it relevant in studies related to metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia. Due to its modulatory action on PPAR pathways, it serves as a tool compound for understanding receptor function and developing new therapeutic agents targeting metabolic and inflammatory diseases. Not intended for human use or clinical application.
