Metronidazole - PubChem

Metronidazole - Compound Summary (CID 4173) Also known as: Flagyl, Metronidazol, Gineflavir, Meronidal, Metronidaz, Trichazol, Trichopol, Danizol, Trivazol Molecular Formula: C₆H₉N₃O₃ Molecular Weight: 171.15396 InChIKey: VAOCPAMSLUNLGC-UHFFFAOYSA-N A nitroimidazole used to treat AMEBIASIS; VAGINITIS; TRICHOMONAS INFECTIONS; GIARDIASIS; ANAEROBIC BACTERIA; and TREPONEMAL INFECTIONS. It has also been proposed as a radiation sensitizer for hypoxic cells. According to the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985, p133), this substance may reasonably be anticipated to be a carcinogen (Merck, 11th ed).
