Used in scientific research as a potent and selective antagonist for serotonin receptors, particularly 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C. It is commonly employed in neuropharmacological studies to investigate the role of these receptors in mood, perception, and cognitive function. Due to its high affinity and specificity, it serves as a valuable tool in receptor binding assays and functional studies in vitro and in vivo. Not intended for human use or therapeutic applications.
