Description
This nitroimidazole derivative is a synthetic agent used as a drug against protozoal infections and bacterial infections. Bacteria that are anaerobic are the prime targets of this drug. The antibacterial spectrum of ornidazole is pretty much similar to that of metronidazole. This drug is also an understudy to find out its role in preventing colon surgery.

USES:
Ornidazole is an antibiotic as well as an antiprotozoal. This drug has a broad spectrum of action including its use in bacterial vaginitis, trichomoniasis, anaerobic bacterial infections, diarrhea, dysentery, amebiasis, etc. In Crohn’s disease, the role of this drug is an understudy and it is also being studied to know its function in preventing colon surgery.
CHEMICAL COMPOSITION:
The IUPAC name for this antibiotic is 1-chloro-3-(2-methyl-5-nitroimidazol-1-yl)propan-2-ol. The chemical formula is C7H10ClN3O3.
PRODUCT APPLICATION:
Since this drug is a synthetic nitroimidazole, it gets into the cell of the infecting organism whether it is a protozoan or a bacteria. After getting access into the cell, the nitro group undergoes reduction making this chemical cytotoxic for the infecting organism. This ability to kill the organisms makes it a very useful drug in people suffering from anaerobic infections or protozoal infections.
