Used primarily in research settings as a selective aromatase inhibitor, this compound plays a key role in studies related to estrogen synthesis. By blocking the aromatase enzyme, it prevents the conversion of androgens to estrogens, making it valuable in endocrinology and oncology research, particularly in hormone-dependent cancer models. It is also utilized in animal studies to investigate reproductive physiology and the effects of estrogen suppression. Due to its specificity, it supports the development of therapeutic strategies targeting estrogen overproduction.
