CAS 166734-83-4: (S)-Ornidazole

Description: (S)-Ornidazole is a chiral nitroimidazole derivative primarily used as an antimicrobial agent, particularly effective against anaerobic bacteria and protozoa. It is characterized by its molecular formula, which includes a nitro group and an imidazole ring, contributing to its biological activity. The compound exhibits a stereocenter, with the (S)-configuration being crucial for its pharmacological properties. (S)-Ornidazole is typically administered in oral form and is known for its good bioavailability and tissue penetration. Its mechanism of action involves the reduction of the nitro group under anaerobic conditions, leading to the formation of reactive intermediates that damage microbial DNA. The substance is generally well-tolerated, though it may cause side effects such as gastrointestinal disturbances or allergic reactions in some individuals. In terms of solubility, (S)-Ornidazole is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water, which can influence its formulation in pharmaceutical applications. Overall, its efficacy against specific pathogens makes it a valuable agent in treating infections caused by anaerobic organisms.
