Hypoxia (inadequate concentrations of dioxygen in tissues) is present in several disease states, including cancer and rheumatoid arthritis. Prodrug systems, which after bioreduction, selectively release active drugs in these tissues may be important in therapy. The 5-nitrothien-2-ylmethyl ester of aspirin was synthesised by treatment of 5-nitrothiophene-2-methanol with 2-acetoxybenzoyl chloride, whereas
