Dimevax

Composition:

Each 1ml contains:
Dimetridazole 166.87  mg

Properties:

Dimetridazole is a nitroimidazole which is bactercicidal to most obligate anaerobic bacteria.it has negligible activity against aerobic bacteria. It is active against  serpulina hyodysenteriae (Treponema hyodysenteriae)&a variety of protozoa..Acquired resistance among susceptible organisms is rare .It lead to cell death , through reduction of the nitro group- after entry into  the cell – to produce a variety of unstable intermediates ,including antibacterial products. Reduction occurs under anaerobic conditions but unlike that of the nitrofurans,is not enzymatically controlled. The unstable intermediates interact with bacterial or protozoal DNA, damaging the helical structure & causing strand breakage.leads to inhibition of nucleic acid synthesis &inhibition of the DNA repair enzyme DNAase I .
