Acetophenone is an aromatic ketone primarily used as a precursor in pharmaceutical synthesis and fragrance manufacturing. It has been used as a hypnotic and anticonvulsant historically, but it is no longer in clinical use for these purposes. In industry, it serves as an intermediate for drugs like antihistamines and anti-inflammatories. Direct therapeutic application is limited.
