Abstract: | Various novel aliphatic and aromatic esters of metronidazole have been synthesized to improve the physicochemical properties (Rm values, lipophilicity) using prodrug approach. The alcoholic functional group of metronidazole is readily esterified, thus several novel ester prodrugs of metronidazole have been synthesized and evaluated for their anaerobic antibacterial activity and mutagenicity. These compounds have been characterized by UV, IR, 1H NMR, mass spectra and elemental analysis. The partition coefficient of esters is determined by n-octanol/water system, RP-TLC and computed in silico. Anaerobic activity against C. perfringens, determined in terms of MIC (![]() |
