Using two UV-spectrophotometric methods, the hydrolysis of tinidazole was studied at pH 1.00-8.45 at 80 degrees C. The reaction followed apparent first-order kinetics throughout the studied range. No kinetic salt effect was detected, indicating that at least one of the

The inflammation- and infection-seeking properties of (131)I-labeled ornidazole, a 5-nitroimidazole derivative, have recently been reported. Whole-body images in rabbits showed a more rapid uptake in inflamed areas compared to (67)Ga. In the present study, two novel (123)I-labeled 2-methyl-4-nitroimidazole derivatives were

To study the synthesis and antibacterial activity of pyridonecarboxylic acid derivatives containing 2-methyl-5-nitroimidazol. Pyridonecarboxylic acid derivatives containing 2-methyl-5-nitroimidazol were synthesized primarily from 2-methyl-5-nitroimidazol, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, enoxacin via nucleophilic substitution and esterification. The antibacterial activity of the nine target compounds were

An unidentified metabolite of dimetridazole (DMZ), found in pig plasma, muscle and kidney, was shown by chromatography and spectroscopy to be 2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole (2-MNI), resulting from N-demethylation of DMZ. This route of degradation competes with the oxidation pathway previously described. The

An iminodiacetic acid (IDA) derivative of 2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole was synthesized as a carrier molecule for radiolabeling with the gamma emitting radioisotope, 99mTc, for imaging hypoxic regions of tumors. The ligand was synthesized in excellent yield and labeled using freshly prepared [99mTc(CO)3(H2O)3]+
