Description

Tinidazole is an antiprotozoal agent that belongs to the nitroimidazoles. It has a broad spectrum of activity against organisms causing amoebiasis and giardiasis, but is not active against bacteria. Tinidazole is also effective in the treatment of intestinal amebiasis and giardiasis caused by Entamoeba histolytica and Giardia lamblia, respectively. Tinidazole prevents the growth of these parasites by binding to their cytoplasmic membrane and inducing lysis of the parasite's cells. This drug can be used as a prophylactic agent to prevent amoebiasis or giardiasis or as treatment for chronic infections with these parasites. The mechanism of action of tinidazole is still poorly understood, but it may be due to its ability to inhibit epithelial mesenchymal transformation and matrix effect on the cell surface.
