In Vitro Metronidazole hydrochloride acts on anaerobic microorganism following: passage through the cell membrane; (b) reductive action; (c) interaction with intracellular targets; (d) release of inactive end products, exerts function with toxic nitro and nitroso derivatives[1]. Metronidazole hydrochloride displays inhibitory activity towards anaerobic protozoa Trichomonas vaginalis, Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia, and Balantidium coli[1]. Metronidazole hydrochloride (4-8 μg/mL) inhibits anaerobic bacteria and shows good bactericidal activity[1]. Metronidazole hydrochloride (0.1 μg/mL-0.01 mg/mL; 12-96 h) induces granular formation and triggers apoptosis in Blastocystis sp[2]. Apoptosis Analysis[2] Cell Line: Blastocystis sp. Cells Concentration: 0.1 μg/mL-0.01 mg/mL Incubation Time: 12, 24, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96 hours Result: Decreased cell diameter, as a hallmark of an apoptotic cell, and resulted cell shrinkage.
In Vivo Metronidazole hydrochloride (135 mg/kg/d; p.o.; 28 d) can cross the blood brain barrier, and exhibits neurotoxicity under long term administration in rats[3]. Metronidazole hydrochloride (1 g/L; p.o.; 4 weeks) results skeletal muscle atrophy and changes the expression of genes involved in the muscle peripheral circadian rhythm machinery and metabolic regulation[4]. Animal Model: Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats (200-220 g)[3] Dosage: 135 mg/kg Administration: Oral gavage; once daily; 28 days Result: Caused inflammatory markers increasing, including iNOS, eNOS, Bax and caspase 3 protein expressions increasing and caused oxidative stress damage in brain tissue, with MDA content rising. Animal Model: SPF C57Bl/6J mice (6-7 months old)[4] Dosage: 1 g/L (full dose) Administration: Oral gavage; provided with drinking water for 4 weeks, changed twice weekly Result: Resulted the muscle core clock and effector genes Cry2, Ror-β, E4BP4, PP ARγ and adiponectin expression increasing. Decreased hind limb muscle weight and resulted in smaller fibers in the tibialis anterior muscle.
