Function:
-
Antibacterial Action: Secnidazole works by penetrating the microbial cell and disrupting its DNA synthesis, leading to cell death. This makes it highly effective against anaerobic bacteria.
-
Antiprotozoal Activity: It also exhibits potent activity against protozoan parasites by inhibiting their nucleic acid synthesis, which is essential for their growth and replication.
-
Extended Duration of Action: Secnidazole has a long half-life, allowing for single-dose treatment regimens, which enhances patient compliance and reduces the duration of therapy.
