The red-ox properties of nitroheterocyclic compounds have been established as important determinants of their biological properties [1, 2]. The correlation between one-electron reduction potential and the ability of nitro compounds to act as radiosensitizers of hypoxic cells is central to the development of agents useful as adjuncts in radiotherapy [3, 4]. A lead compound in this series has been misonidazole (1-(2-nitro-1-imidazolyl)-3-methoxy-2-propanol), which, although neurotoxic at doses necessary to achieve its maximal effect [5], has been shown to be of benefit in some clinical situations [6]. Drugs of higher therapeutic ratio than misonidazole have been developed but their improved efficacy is based on lower toxicity and/or improved tumour uptake [7, 8]. RSU 1069 (1-(2-nitro-1-imidazolyl)-3-(1-aziridinyl)-2-propanol) is a substantially more efficient radiosensitizer than misonidazole both in vitro and in vivo [9, 10] even though both compounds have similar one-electron red-ox potentials [9].Structurally, RSU 1069 differs from misonidazole in that an aziridine replaces the methoxy group in the N1 side chain (Fig. 1). Aziridines are monofunctional alkylating agents which can react with cellular macromolecues such as DNA [11]. In order to establish whether the mechanism of the abnormally high sensitizing efficiency of RSU 1069 involves the alkylating properties of the aziridine group, studies have been carried out on the properties of this compound at the molecular, cellular and in vivo level. RSU 1069 shows very high toxicity towards hypoxic cells. This paper reviews the available toxicity data on RSU
