The rates of anaerobic nitroreduction of 15 nitroimidazoles by xanthine-xanthine oxidase were measured. The compounds studied were mainly 2-nitroimidazoles, including misonidazole and analogs of potential value in cancer therapy; most 5-nitroimidazoles, e.g., metronidazole and nimorazole, reacted too slowly for measurement under the conditions used. Using 0.1 mM nitroimidazole, reduction rates varied between .apprx. 4 and 680 nmol min-1 U-1 xanthine oxidase at 37.degree. C and pH 7.4. These rates were correlated with the reduction potential characterizing 1-electron reduction to the nitro radical-anion, and compared with those for other nitroaryl compounds and with reduction by free FMN.
