[Localization of metronidazole in the organs of tumor-bearing animals using electron paramagnetic resonance]

The low-temperature ESR-spectroscopy was used to study the irradiated organs and blood of tumor-bearing animals before and after the administration of metronidazole. The ESR signals of metronidazole anion-radicals were registered in tissues of the animals injected with metronidazole: the intensity of these signals correspondent with the tissues preparation content.
