Description and Uses

Ornidazole is an orally bioavailable 5-nitroimidazole derivative with antibacterial and antiprotozoal activities. Ornidazole inhibits the growth of clinical isolates of B. fragilis (MICs = 0.5-5 μM) and various anaerobic bacteria when used at concentrations ranging from less than 0.1 to 3.2 μg/ml. It also inhibits the growth of Giardia isolates (IC50s = 0.01-0.47 μg/ml). Oral administration of ornidazole reduces T. vaginalis and T. foetus infection in mice and E. histolytica infection in rats with curative dose (CD50) values of 37, 3, and 10 mg/kg, respectively. Ornidazole (400 mg/kg per day) induces infertility in male rats within 7 days and inhibits spermatozoa binding to rat oocyte zona pellucida.

Ornidazole is a drug that cures some protozoan infections. It has been investigated for use in Crohn's disease after bowel resection. It is indicated in treatment of mixed amoebiasis, mixed amoebic dysentery, mixed giardiasis, trichomoniasis, bacterial vaginosis, Sexually transmitted diseases, infections of gynaecology, lower respiratory tract infections, ENT, surgical and dental infections.
