Metronidazole Benzoate is an esterified form of Metronidazole primarily used in pediatric and veterinary formulations due to its improved taste and stability. It retains the antimicrobial and antiprotozoal activity of Metronidazole by disrupting DNA synthesis in anaerobic organisms. It is widely used in treating amoebiasis, giardiasis, and anaerobic bacterial infections in children.
Metronidazole Benzoate acts as a prodrug that hydrolyzes to Metronidazole in the body. The active form interacts with microbial DNA, causing strand breakage and inhibiting nucleic acid synthesis, leading to cell death. It is effective against anaerobic bacteria and protozoa including Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia, and Trichomonas vaginalis.
