Tenonitrozole
Tenonitrozole is a pharmaceutical drug used in the treatment of trichomoniasis, a common sexually transmitted infection caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. It is a nitroimidazole derivative, a class of drugs that also includes metronidazole and tinidazole. Tenonitrozole is not widely used due to its potential for serious side effects, including neurotoxicity.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Tenonitrozole works by inhibiting the growth of Trichomonas vaginalis, the parasite responsible for trichomoniasis. It does this by disrupting the parasite's DNA and preventing it from reproducing. This is similar to the mechanism of action of other nitroimidazole drugs.
Side Effects[edit | edit source]
The use of tenonitrozole can lead to a number of side effects. The most serious of these is neurotoxicity, which can cause symptoms such as dizziness, headache, and nausea. Other side effects can include rash, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Due to these potential side effects, tenonitrozole is not commonly used in the treatment of trichomoniasis.
History[edit | edit source]
Tenonitrozole was first synthesized in the 1970s as part of a search for new treatments for trichomoniasis. Despite its effectiveness against the parasite, its use has been limited due to its potential for serious side effects.
