Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Shows activity in modulating signaling pathways involved in tumor growth and inflammation. Employed in research settings to design potent and selective drug candidates targeting tyrosine kinases. Also utilized in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to improve metabolic stability and binding affinity. Its fluorinated aromatic structure enhances membrane permeability and bioavailability in preclinical drug candidates.
