Etanidazole (also known as Radinyl) is a 2-nitroimidazole with radiosensitizing properties. Etanidazole exerts its therapeutic action by depleting glutathione and inhibiting glutathione S-transferase, thus enhancing the anticancer effects of radiation therapy. Etanidazole was tested in Phase III clinical trials in patients with advanced head and neck cancer, however, its development was stopped. A fluorinated etanidazole (EF5) may also be useful as an imaging agent for identification of hypoxic, drug-resistant regions of primary tumors and metastases.

times per week for 5.5 weeks in 17 doses up to a total dose of 34 g/m(2). The drug is dissolved in saline and infused i.v., over 10 to 15 min. Radiotherapy is to begin 30 to 60 min after the start of the Etanidazole infusion.

Human leukemia cell lines HL60 and MOLT-4 were treated with 10 mM etanidazole by incubating cells (10(6) ml(-1)) in growth medium at 37 Celsius for 1 h before X-irradiation (15 Gy). The treatment of cells with etanidazole enhanced X-ray-induced apoptosis and the ladder-like DNA fragmentation under the hypoxic conditions.
