Background: The use of Misonidazole (MISO), the first and a potential hypoxic tumor cell radiosensitizer, has been limited by peripheral neurotoxicity, thus discouraging phase III clinical trials.
Objective: To develop a targeted drug delivery and tracing System with pH-sensitive liposomes (SpHLs) and Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (SPIONs) to counter MISO-related adverse effects and to enable tracing under magnetic resonance.
Methods: SPION-MISO-SpHLs were prepared by a reverse evaporation and freeze-thawing method.

Although hypoxia has been known for decades to play an important role in the outcome of radiotherapy in oncology, and inspite of the contribution of hypoxia to a myriad of pathologies that involve vascular disease, the selective imaging of hypoxic tissue has attained prominence only within the past decade. Contemporary research in the hypoxia imaging field is based largely on radiosensitizer research of the 1960's and 1970's. Early sensitizer research identified a family of nitro-organic compounds, the N-1 substituted 2-nitroimidazoles as candidate drugs.

Misonidazole is a hypoxic cell radiosensitizer that induces a peripheral neuropathy in humans after exceeding a schedule-dependent cumulative threshold dose. Clinical studies of misonidazole have been conducted using oral administration, whereas most other radiosensitizers have been administered intravenously. Since route of exposure can potentially influence the toxicity of xenobiotics, the objective of this study was to assess the neurotoxicity of misonidazole in rats following intravenous dosing using a battery of routine clinical, neurofunctional, biochemical, and histopathologic screening methods.

KIN-804(2-nitroimidazole-1-methylacetohydroxamate) is a new hypoxic cell radiosensitizer developed in Japan. It showed a high level of radiosensitizing effect in vitro experiments and is expected to have low neurotoxicity because of its hydrophilic side chain. In this paper, the in vivo characteristics of KIN-804 were studied.
