Used primarily in scientific research as a reference compound for studying serotonin receptor activity, particularly at 5-HT2A and 5-HT1A subtypes. It serves as a structural analog in the development of novel psychoactive substances and helps in understanding the structure-activity relationships of phenylpiperazine derivatives. Due to its affinity for monoamine receptors, it is also employed in pharmacological assays to evaluate binding affinity and functional activity of related compounds. Not intended for human consumption or clinical use.
