Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of anti-inflammatory and analgesic compounds. Its structure supports binding to enzyme active sites, making it valuable in drug design for targeting specific metabolic pathways. Also employed in research settings to study sulfonamide-based inhibitors and their biological activity. Shows potential in enhancing the stability and bioavailability of active drug molecules due to its lipophilic and hydrogen-bonding characteristics.
