Used primarily in pharmaceutical research, particularly in the development of drugs related to the central nervous system. Due to its structure, it has potential to act on certain brain receptors, such as CB1 or CB2 receptors, which are involved in processes like inflammation, pain, and mood regulation. It is studied to evaluate effects as a sedative, to reduce anxiety, or to relieve pain.

Additionally, this substance is used as a starting material or reference in the synthesis of new compounds in the laboratory, for screening biological activity, and studying the structure-activity relationship in pharmacology.

It is not a substance approved for medical use in humans and should not be used outside of strictly controlled research frameworks.
