CAS: 6339-55-5

1-Methyl-4-nitro-1H-imidazole-5-sulfonamide is a cytotoxic agent that is used to treat cancer. This drug inhibits the growth of cancer cells and sensitizes them to radiation therapy by binding to DNA, which inhibits its ability to replicate. It has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on tumour growth in animal models. 1-Methyl-4-nitro-1H-imidazole-5-sulfonamide binds preferentially to tissues with high oxygen tension, such as the brain and bone marrow, and has been shown to be effective in treating leukemia cells. 1MM4NIAS is also radiosensitizing for cancer and can be used in combination with radiation therapy treatments for cancer patients.
