title: Comparative studies on the trichomonacidal activity of 5-nitroimidazole-derivatives in mice infected s.c. or intravaginally with T. vaginalis.
abstract: The trichomonacidal efficacy of metronidazole, tinidazole, nimorazole and ornidazole was studied in mice infected s.c., or for comparison purposes intravaginally. In both test systems, the drugs revealed nearly the same order of efficacy, whereby the compounds showed a marked decrease of activity when analyzed in s.c. infected mice.
