| Bioactivity | Metronidazole is an orally active nitroimidazole antibiotic. Metronidazole can cross blood brain barrier. Metronidazole can be used for the research of anaerobic infections[1][2][3][4]. |
| Invitro | Metronidazole displays inhibitory activity towards anaerobic protozoa Trichomonas vaginalis, Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia, and Balantidium coli[1].Metronidazole (4-8 μg/mL) inhibits anaerobic bacteria and shows good bactericidal activity[1].Metronidazole (0.1 μg/mL-0.01 mg/mL; 12-96 h) induces granular formation and triggers apoptosis in Blastocystis sp[2].
