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.

Helicobacter pylori recurrence after successful eradication is an important problem. Children are particularly vulnerable to reinfection, by intrafamilial transmission which facilitates the acquisition or recombination of new genetic information by this bacterium. We investigated the evolutionary dynamics of 80 H.

Nitroimidazole (azomycin) derivatives labeled with radioisotopes have been developed as cancer imaging and radiotherapeutic agents based on the oncological hypoxic mechanism. By attaching nitroimidazole core with different functional groups, we synthesized new nitroimidazole derivatives and evaluated their potentiality as tumor
