Ornidazole is an antibiotic used to treat protozoan infections.: 1368 A synthetic nitroimidazole, it is commercially obtained from an acid-catalyzed reaction between 2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole and epichlorohydrin. Ornidazole is nothing but chloro-secnidazole.
Antimicrobial spectrum is similar to that of metronidazole and is more well tolerated;: 1368 however there are concerns of lower relative efficacy.
It was first introduced for treating trichomoniasis before being recognized for its broad anti-protozoan and anti-anaerobic-bacterial capacities.: 1261 has also been investigated for use in Crohn's disease after bowel resection.
