The invention relates generally to compounds and methods for imaging and/or selective ablation of nitroreductase-expressing cells and/or biological agents. More particularly, although not exclusively, the invention provides compounds that are selectively metabolised by bacterial nitroreductases and are substantially insensitive to metabolism under oxic or hypoxic conditions by human nitroreductase enzymes.
