💊 Metronidazole - Puri Jankari
Drug Class
Nitroimidazole group ka antibiotic + antiprotozoal drug hai.
Brand names: Flagyl, Metrogyl, Metrozine
Mechanism of Action (Kaam Kaise Karta Hai?)
Metronidazole ek "pro-drug" hai:
- Anaerobic bacteria aur protozoa ke andar jaata hai
- Unke ferredoxin-like electron transport proteins se electron leta hai
- Isse reactive cytotoxic compounds bante hain
- Ye compounds bacteria/parasite ke DNA se bind kar lete hain aur unhe destroy kar dete hain
Key point: Oxygen wale organisms (aerobic) is drug se affect nahi hote - sirf anaerobic/microaerophilic organisms pe kaam karta hai
(Lippincott Pharmacology)
