Etanidazole is a nitroimidazole drug that was investigated in clinical trials for its radiosensitizing properties in cancer treatment. Administration of etanidazole results in a decrease of glutathione concentration and inhibits glutathione S-transferase.^[1]^[2] The result is that tissues become more sensitive to the ionizing radiation.^[3]
