Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents. Its structure supports the design of molecules with selective COX-2 inhibitory activity. Also employed in research for new heterocyclic compounds with potential biological activity, including antimicrobial and anticancer properties. Commonly utilized in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to its stable pyrazole core and modifiable functional groups.
