General description

2-Nitroimidazole is a natural antibiotic.

Application

2-Nitroimidazole was used in the synthesis of:
  • tert-butyl 2-(2-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethylcarbamate
  • 1-(2-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)ethyl)-2-nitro-1H-imidazole
  • 2-fluoro-N-(2-(2-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethyl)acetamide
  • 2-(2-methyl-5-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethyl 2-fluoroacetate
  • radiolabeling precursors - the bromo substituted analogs
  • nitroimidazole substituted boronic acids, precursors for imaging hypoxic tissue
  • potential site-selective radiosensitizers for estrogen receptor-rich tumors

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

Sulfonamide carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) inhibitors targeting the α-class enzyme from the protozoan pathogen Trypanosoma cruzi, responsible of Chagas disease, were recently reported. Although many such derivatives showed low nanomolar activity in vitro, they were inefficient anti-T. cruzi agents

The use of DNA aggregates could be a promising strategy for the molecular imaging of biological functions. Herein, phosphorescent oligodeoxynucleotides were designed with the aim of visualizing oxygen fluctuation in tumor cells. DNA-ruthenium conjugates (DRCs) that consisted of oligodeoxynucleotides, a
