Product Data Sheet
1-Methyl-4-nitroimidazole
Catalog No. A27434
1-Methyl-4-nitroimidazole is an antibacterial agent that functions primarily through reduction by bacterial nitroreductases, leading to the generation of toxic derivatives. These derivatives induce DNA damage and inhibit bacterial nucleic acid synthesis, while also producing toxic superoxides that promote bacterial cell death. This compound demonstrates moderate in vitro activity against both bacterial and fungal pathogens and is applicable in research focused on skin infections, purulent infections, and urinary tract infections.
