Used in research as a potent and selective inhibitor of PI3Kγ (phosphoinositide 3-kinase gamma), showing potential in the study of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Demonstrates anti-inflammatory effects in cellular and animal models by suppressing immune cell activation and migration. Investigated for its role in modulating tumor microenvironment due to PI3K pathway involvement in cancer progression. Primarily employed as a tool compound in preclinical studies to understand immune signaling pathways.
