Used in pharmaceutical research as an intermediate for synthesizing bioactive molecules, particularly in the development of compounds with potential anticonvulsant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. Its structure supports the design of drug candidates targeting central nervous system disorders due to the presence of the piperidine and oxadiazole moieties, which are known for their pharmacological relevance. Also employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to optimize lead compounds.
