Mutagenicity of metronidazole: presence of several active metabolites in human urine.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mutagenic activity was found in the urine of 10 patients given therapeutic dosages of metronidazole orally or per vagina. Paper chromatographic separation revealed that mutagenicity in the urine was associated with unmodified metronidazole and at least four of its known urinary metabolites. Activity was also recovered in a region of the chromatogram heretofore not assigned to a metronidazole metabolite.

Improving the efficiency of advanced photocatalytic oxidation process in the presence of sulfite for decomposition of metronidazole from aqueous solutions
Metronidazole antibiotic is belong to the nitroimidazole family. Non degradability, high solubility in water, toxicity, carcinogenicity and mutagenicity are important concerns related to antibiotics. Therefore, the aim of this study is to apply the new advanced oxidation process of UV/zinc oxide/sulfite (UZS) to degrade metronidazole from aqueous solutions. Methods: In this study, the effect o...
