They are important as centrally active, selective μ-opioid receptor agonists. The high potency of fentanyl (in humans) is matched by only a few nitazenes and surpassed by etonitazene and isotonitazene.

Due to unacceptable side effects, nitazenes were never included in the pharmacopoeia of human or veterinary medicine.
