Description

Metronidazole CAS NO 443-48-1 is a synthetic nitroimidazole derivative with potent antibacterial and antiprotozoal activity. This compound is a critical active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) essential for the formulation of anti-infective medications. It is primarily required by pharmaceutical manufacturers, veterinary drug producers, and research institutions developing treatments for anaerobic bacterial and protozoal infections.

Application

• As the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in human antibiotic and antiprotozoal formulations.
• In the manufacture of veterinary medicinal products for the treatment of infections in livestock and companion animals.
• As a key intermediate in pharmaceutical research and development for new therapeutic agents.
• For use in diagnostic and microbiological media in laboratory settings.
• In the preparation of topical formulations such as gels and creams for dermatological applications.
• As a reference standard in quality control (QC) and analytical laboratories for method development and validation.
