Metronidazole Hydrochloride（Cat No.:I032191）is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent widely used to treat anaerobic bacterial and protozoal infections. As a prodrug, it is activated within anaerobic cells, disrupting DNA synthesis and leading to cell death. It is effective in managing conditions such as bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis, and infections caused by Clostridium difficile. The hydrochloride form enhances its solubility and stability, making it suitable for oral, intravenous, and topical formulations. Metronidazole Hydrochloride is a critical agent in both clinical and research settings, particularly in studies of anaerobic pathogens and antimicrobial resistance.
