Acts as a selective inhibitor of LSD1 (lysine-specific demethylase 1), making it valuable in epigenetic studies related to gene expression and cellular differentiation. Commonly applied in cancer research to investigate the role of LSD1 in tumor progression, particularly in leukemia and other hematological malignancies. Also utilized in neuroscience to explore epigenetic mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases and psychiatric disorders. Its ability to modulate histone methylation makes it a tool for probing chromatin dynamics in cell-based assays.
