Nitroimidazole represents one of the most essential and unique scaffolds in drug discovery since its discovery in the 1950s. It was K. Maeda in Japan who reported in 1953 the first nitroimidazole as a natural product from Nocardia mesenterica with ...

AbstractWe present here the photofragmentation patterns of doubly ionized 4(5)‐nitroimidazole and 1‐methyl‐5‐nitroimidazole. The doubly ionized state was created by core ionizing the C 1s orbitals of the samples, rapidly followed by Auger decay. Due to the recent development of nitroimidazole‐based radiosensitizing drugs, core ionization was selected ...

Using 5-Nitroimidazole Derivatives against Neglected Tropical Protozoan Diseases: Systematic Review
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a significant global health problem. Additionally, anti-protozoan treatments are toxic, and their therapeutic regimens require prolonged treatment times and high concentrations of the drugs.

2-Hydroxymethyl-1-methyl-5-nitroimidazole, one siderophore inhibitor, occludes quorum sensing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]
Siderophore is necessary for the survival of microorganisms and is interregulated with quorum sensing (QS) systems. It is related to growth, proliferation, virulence, and other bacterial social activities as a virulence factor.

Transcriptomic Signatures of Trichomonas vaginalis Isolates That Exhibit Low, Intermediate, and High In Vitro Resistance to Metronidazole [PDF]
As part of efforts to identify genes associated with Trichomonas vaginalis resistance to 5-nitroimidazole drugs, thirty cryopreserved T. vaginalis isolates were revived and grown using Diamond’s TYM medium.

Design, Synthesis and Anticancer Evaluation of Nitroimidazole Radiosensitisers
The role of hypoxic tumour cells in resistance to radiotherapy, and in suppression of immune response, continues to endorse tumour hypoxia as a bona fide, yet largely untapped, drug target.
