CAS No.: 56302-13-7; Satranidazole. PROPERTIES: Satranidazole is a white to off-white crystalline powder with the molecular formula C22H23N3O4 and a molecular weight of 393.44 g/mol. It exhibits poor solubility in water but dissolves moderately in organic solvents like methanol and dimethyl sulfoxide. The compound is hygroscopic and light-sensitive, requiring storage in tightly sealed containers at temperatures below 30 C in a dry, dark environment. Safety precautions include wearing protective gloves and eye protection during handling to prevent skin and eye irritation. Inhalation of dust should be avoided due to potential respiratory tract irritation. The substance is classified as a Category 3 eye irritant and Category 2 respiratory sensitizer according to GHS standards. APPLICATIONS: Satranidazole is primarily used as an antiprotozoal agent in veterinary medicine, particularly against coccidiosis in poultry. Its mechanism involves inhibition of DNA synthesis in protozoa, as detailed in the Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology. Additionally, research in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry explores its potential as a lead compound for developing novel antiparasitic agents. The compound has also been investigated for its antimicrobial properties against certain bacterial strains, with studies in the Journal of Antimicrobial Chemistry documenting its effectiveness against specific Gram-positive organisms.
