Description

Morinidazole is an orally active and 5-nitroimidazole antimicrobial agent that undergoes extensive metabolism in humans via N+-glucuronidation and sulfation. Morinidazole can be used for bacterial infections research including appendicitis and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) caused by anaerobic bacteria[1].

IC50 & Target

organic anion transporter[1]

In Vitro

Morinidazole can be metabolized to N+-glucuronide of S-morinidazole [M8-1] and N+-glucuronide of R-morinidazole [M8-2] via N+-glucuronidation, and sulfate conjugate of morinidazole [M7] via sulfation[1].
M7 is a substrate for organic anion transporter 1 (OAT1) and OAT3 (Km=28.6 and 54.0 μM, respectively), M8-1 and M8-2 are the substrates for OAT3[1].
Morinidazole shows activity against Trichomonas vaginalis and Entamoeba histolytica in vitro, with MIC values of 2 μg/mL and 3 μg/mL, respectively[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Morinidazole (20 mg/kg or 25 mg/kg; p.o.; single dose) inhibits Trichomonas vaginalis and Entamoeba histolytica in vivo in rats with EC50s of 20 mg/kg and 25 mg/kg, respectively[2].
Morinidazole (50 mg/kg; i.v.; 0.25, 0.75, 1.5 h) shows a different concentration in tissues after intravenous injection, with a higher concentration in liver, kidney, plasma than lung, heart, and spleen in mice[3].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.75 mg/mL (10.17 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.75 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (27.5 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.75 mg/mL (10.17 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.75 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (27.5 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
