Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of central nervous system agents. Shows potential in the design of selective receptor modulators due to its structural features, including the piperidine and sulfonamide moieties. Employed in medicinal chemistry research for optimizing drug candidates targeting neurological disorders. Also utilized in the preparation of bioactive molecules with analgesic or anti-inflammatory properties. Its methoxyphenyl group enhances lipophilicity and membrane permeability, improving cellular uptake in biological assays.
