Description

General description

Metronidazole-OH is a genotoxic, carcinogenic and mutagenic drug, belonging to the class of nitroimidazoles, used as a broad spectrum veterinary drug for the treatment and prevention of certain bacterial and protozoal diseases in farm animals.[1]

Application

Metronidazole-OH may be used as a reference standard for the determination of the antibiotic, metronidazole-OH in water samples[2] and meat matrices[3] using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole-linear ion trap tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-Qtrap-MS/MS)[2] and ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) coupled to time of flight mass spectrometry (TOF).[3]
