Nitromifene

Nitromifene (INN; also as the citrate salt nitromifene citrate (USAN), developmental code names CI-628, CN-5518, CN-55945) is a nonsteroidal selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) related to triphenylethylenes like tamoxifen that was never marketed.[1] It is a mixture of (E)- and (Z)-isomers that possess similar antiestrogenic activity.[2] The drug was described in 1966.[1] Along with tamoxifen, nafoxidine, and clomifene, it was one of the earliest SERMs.[3]

Nitromifene has been found to dissociate from the estrogen receptor 250-fold faster than estradiol.[4] This may be involved in its antagonistic activity at the estrogen receptor.[4]
