A range of aziridin-1-yl nitrobenzamides are provided for use as prodrugs in conjunction with nitroreductase (NR) enzymes. The amides may have 1 or 2-substituents which may be bulky and polar. For example, 5-(aziridin-1-yl)-N-[2-(4-morpholino)ethyl]-2,4-dinitrobenzamide of Formula (A) was found to be highly active against all NR+ cell lines tested.
