Biochem/physiol Actions

Pimonidazole is an effective and nontoxic exogenous 2-nitroimidazole hypoxia marker. Pimonidazole forms adducts with thiol groups in proteins, peptides and amino acids.
Pimonidazole possesses a nitro group at position 2 and an imidazole ring. Pimonidazole undergoes reduction and is activated in hypoxic cells.
