Comparative efficacy of Go 10213 and some nitroimidazoles againstTrichomonas vaginalisandT. foetusin mice infected subcutaneously

Abstract
Go 10213, a new nitroimidazole, was compared with other nitroimidazoles such as metronidazole, tinidazole, secnidazole and nimorazole against the s.c. infection of mice with T. vaginalis and T. foetus. Go 10213 appears superior to the other nitroimidazoles in this model, and may therefore be of value against trichomoniasis in man. In early clinical trials, Go 10213 was active at a single dose of 600 mg kg-1. The suitability of the original test system is thus verified.
