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

Metronidazole is metabolized to two major oxidative products: an acid metabolite and a hydroxy metabolite. While the activity of the acid metabolite is negligible, the activity of the hydroxy metabolite is approximately 65% of the activity of the parent drug.
