Ornidazole Levo-(Cat No.:I002178)is an enantiomer of ornidazole, a nitroimidazole-class antimicrobial known for its efficacy against anaerobic bacteria and protozoa. It disrupts DNA synthesis within pathogens by generating reactive intermediates, which cause strand breaks and inhibit replication. Often used to treat infections like amebiasis, giardiasis, and bacterial vaginosis, Ornidazole Levo- exhibits improved pharmacokinetics and may reduce side effects compared to the racemic form. Its selective action against specific pathogens makes it valuable in managing infections where anaerobes and protozoa are involved, contributing to targeted and effective antimicrobial therapy.
