• 1-(2-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)ethyl)-2-nitro-1H-imidazole¹
• 2-fluoro-N-(2-(2-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethyl)acetamide¹
• 2-(2-methyl-5-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethyl 2-fluoroacetate¹
• radiolabeling precursors - the bromo substituted analogs¹
• nitroimidazole substituted boronic acids, precursors for imaging hypoxic tissue²
