The present invention relates to aminoalkenoate ester derivatives of 2-amino-5-chloro-3-nitropyrazine useful as sensitizers of hypoxic tumor cells to therapeutic radiation. It also relates to the process of preparing such compounds by reaction of 2-amino-5,6-dichloro-3-nitro-pyrazine with an amino or alkylamino substituted alpha , beta -unsaturated alkenoate ester. In addition the application relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds and to methods of treatment comprising administering such compounds to patients undergoing radiation treatment to enhance the effectiveness of such treatment by sensitizing hypoxic tumor cells to therapeutic radiation.
