Pimonidazole Inhibitor

Pimonidazole accumulates in hypoxic cells via covalent binding with macromolecules or by forming reductive metabolites after the reduction of its nitro group. It can be used for qualitative and quantitative assessment of tumor hypoxia. Pimonidazole is a novel hypoxia marker for the complementary study of tumor hypoxia and cell proliferation in tumors.

Small volumes of Pimonidazole, inhibitor vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS5755383 is an inhibitor targeting Pimonidazole.
