What is Metronidazole CAS 443-48-1？

Metronidazole is a white or slightly yellow crystalline or crystalline powder; There is a slight odor, with a bitter and slightly salty taste. Slightly soluble in ethanol, slightly soluble in water or chloroform, and extremely slightly soluble in ether. Metronidazole is a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound with alkalinity and low water solubility. According to the prodrug principle, metronidazole is made into potassium phosphate ester, which increases its water solubility and can be used as an injection solution.
