4-[(4-Ethyl-1-piperazinyl)methyl]-3-(trifluoromethyl)-benzenamine is one of the key reactants with N-[1-(4-Aminophenyl)-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridin-4-yl]benzamide used in the synthesis of a pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridine derivative [N-[1-[4-[[[[4-[(4-ethyl-1-piperazinyl)methyl]-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]amino]carbonyl]amino]phenyl]-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridin-4-yl]benzamide (I)], an anticancer diarylurea derivative with multiple-kinase inhibitory effect; Also, it is an intermediate used in the synthesis of N-[4-[(4-Ethyl-1-piperazinyl)methyl]-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-N''-[4-[[6-(methylamino)-4-pyrimidinyl]oxy]phenyl]urea (E926495), which is an inhibitor of RET, FLT3, KDR, c-Abl and c-Kit. Also, it prevent the growth of human thyroid cancer cells.
