Used in pharmaceutical research as a key scaffold in the development of central nervous system (CNS) agents. Shows potential as a modulator of neurotransmitter receptors, particularly in studies related to anxiety and seizure disorders. Its structure supports binding affinity to GABAergic targets, making it valuable in the design of novel anticonvulsant and anxiolytic compounds. Also explored for its metabolic stability and ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, which enhances its utility in neuropharmacology.
