Used primarily in pharmaceutical research as a steroid derivative with potential hormonal activity. Its structure supports interaction with steroid receptors, making it a candidate for developing therapies related to endocrine disorders, reproductive health, and hormone-sensitive conditions. It has been investigated for use in selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) due to its ability to mimic steroid signaling with tissue selectivity. Also explored in the development of targeted treatments for muscle wasting, osteoporosis, and certain cancers. Its pyridine moiety enhances bioavailability and receptor binding specificity, which improves therapeutic potential and reduces off-target effects.
