Nitromifene ({{Abbrlink|INN|International Nonproprietary Name}}; also as the citrate salt nitromifene citrate ({{Abbrlink|USAN|United States Adopted Name}}), 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.{{cite book| vauthors = Elks J |title=The Dictionary of Drugs: Chemical Data: Chemical Data, Structures and Bibliographies|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=0vXTBwAAQBAJ&pg=PA880|date=14 November 2014|publisher=Springer|isbn=978-1-4757-2085-3|pages=880–}} It is a mixture of (E)- and (Z)-isomers that possess similar antiestrogenic activity.{{cite book| vauthors = Kirk RE, Othmer DF |title=Encyclopedia of chemical technology|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yb9TAAAAMAAJ|year=1980|publisher=Wiley|isbn=978-0-471-02065-3|page=676}} The drug was described in 1966. Along with tamoxifen, nafoxidine, and clomifene, it was one of the earliest SERMs.{{cite journal | vauthors = Jordan VC, Morrow M | title = Tamoxifen, raloxifene, and the prevention of breast cancer | journal = Endocrine Reviews | volume = 20 | issue = 3 | pages = 253–278 | date = June 1999 | pmid = 10368771 | doi = 10.1210/edrv.20.3.0368 | doi-access = free }}
Nitromifene has been found to dissociate from the estrogen receptor 250-fold faster than estradiol.{{cite journal | vauthors = De Boer W, Notides AC, Katzenellenbogen BS, Hayes JR, Katzenellenbogen JA | title = The capacity of the antiestrogen CI-628 to activate the estrogen receptor in vitro | journal = Endocrinology | volume = 108 | issue = 1 | pages = 206–212 | date = January 1981 | pmid = 7007019 | doi = 10.1210/endo-108-1-206 }} This may be involved in its antagonistic activity at the estrogen receptor.
