IC50: bacterial nitroreductase (NTR) enzyme[1]
Nifurpirinol (P-7138) is a nitroaromatic Antibiotic and acts as a novel substrate for the bacterial nitroreductase (NTR) enzyme. Nifurpirinol is a more potent prodrug compared to Metronidazole to trigger cell-ablation in nitroreductase expressing transgenic models[1].
