Used primarily in research settings, this compound is studied for its psychoactive properties and interactions with neurotransmitter systems, particularly the NMDA receptor. Its applications are mainly in neuroscience and pharmacology, where it helps in understanding the mechanisms of dissociative anesthetics and their effects on the brain. Researchers may also explore its potential therapeutic uses, such as in the treatment of certain psychiatric disorders, though this remains speculative and requires further investigation. Due to its potent effects, it is handled with strict safety protocols in controlled environments.
