Ornidazole
Ornidazole is an antibiotic used to treat protozoan infections.[1]:1368 A synthetic nitroimidazole, it is commercially obtained from an acid-catalyzed reaction between 2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole and epichlorohydrin.[2] Antimicrobial spectrum is similar to that of metronidazole and is more well tolerated[1]:1368; however there are concerns of lower relative efficacy.[3]
