Nitromifene is used in medical and pharmacological research to investigate its effects on the hormonal system, particularly in balancing estrogen levels. It is commonly employed in experiments to assess its efficacy as a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) in inhibiting estrogen receptors, which holds potential for developing treatments for hormone-related conditions such as breast cancer or hormonal imbalances. Additionally, studies examine its impacts on the reproductive system and metabolic processes in the body. While it has off-label applications in post-cycle therapy for restoring testosterone production after anabolic steroid use, its primary role is in research and potential therapeutic development.
