Description

White or slightly yellowish, crystalline powder or flakes.ChEBI: A benzoate ester resulting from the formal condensation of benzoic acid with the hydroxy group of metronidazole.


Metronidazole benzoate is a benzoate ester resulting from the formal condensation of benzoic acid with the hydroxy group of metronidazole. It has a role as an antibacterial drug, an antimicrobial agent, an antiparasitic agent, an antitrichomonal drug and a prodrug. It derives from a metronidazole and a benzoic acid.|Metronidazole Benzoate is the benzoate ester of metronidazole, a synthetic nitroimidazole derivative with antiprotozoal and antibacterial activities.

Metronidazole benzoate Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

General procedure: To a mixture of respected aryl carboxylic acid (3o-3x, 10 mmol) andMOTS (3.24 g, 10 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) potassium carbonate wasadded (1.38 g, 10 mmol) and heated at 80 C. After 3 days, the reactionmixture was poured into the ice water and the formed insoluble matterwas recovered by filtration. The insoluble matter was dissolved in hotethanol, whereupon the mixture was allowed to cool and crystalsformed were collected and dried in air. 4.2.3.1. 4.2.3.1.2-(2-methyl-5-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethyl benzoate(4n).

Drug Function and Efficacy

It has a strong antibacterial effect on most anaerobic bacteria, and the antibacterial spectrum includes Bacteroides fragilis and other Bacteroides, Fusobacterium, Clostridium perfringens, Eubacterium, Veillonella, Peptococcus and Peptostreptococcus, etc. In addition, it also has a strong killing effect on amoeba and Trichomonas. The bactericidal mechanism is that nitro is reduced to a cytotoxin, thereby acting on the DNA metabolism process of bacteria and promoting cell death; the anti-amoeba mechanism is to inhibit its redox reaction, causing the nitrogen chain of the protozoa to break.

This ingredient has been used in drugs with the following functions (note: it does not mean that the ingredient itself has the following health functions)
