Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Metronidazole Derivatives as Anti-Giardia Agents

Nitroimidazole derivatives such as Metronidazole (MTZ) have been used as anti- protozoa and anti-anaerobic bacteria. In this study several derivatives of MTZ were synthesized and evaluated against Giardia lamblia cyst. MTZ were reacted with several alkyl halide to obtain o-alkyl MTZ derivatives, the...
