EF5 is a nitroimidazole used in oncology research.^[1] Due to its similarity in chemical structure to etanidazole, EF5 binds in cells displaying hypoxia.^[2]

The ¹⁸F-radiolabeled derivative of EF5 is being studied for its possibility to be used in positron emission tomography (PET) to detect low levels of oxygen in brain tumors.^[3] This can help show how a tumor will respond to treatment.
