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

Three analogous 5-nitroimidazoles, having radiosensitizing and cytotoxic properties, have been studied by pulse-radiolysis in N2O-saturated aqueous formate solutions. Rates of formation of the radicals ImNO2-. are found to have little pH dependence. Decay of the radicals always follows second-order kinetics.

1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene salts of 2-methyl-4(5)-nitroimidazole or benzotriazole were obtained in crystalline form. Michael-type addition of these salts to (4S,5R)-(E)-4,6-di-O-acetyl-5-hydroxy-2-hexenal gave, after acetylation of the product, an isomeric mixture of acetylated 3-(azol-1-yl)-2,3-dideoxy-D-arabino-hexopyranosides and 3-(azol-1-yl)-2,3-dideoxy-D-ribo-hexofuranosides. Reaction of these peracetylated adducts with trimethylsilylated thymine
