General description

HMMNI is a hydroxy metabolite of nitroimidazole antibiotics, belonging to a class of veterinary drugs with therapeutic applications in the treatment and prevention of certain bacterial and protozoal diseases in poultry and swine.
HMMNI is a major metabolite of nitroimidazole drug, dimetridazole (DMZ).

Application

HMMNI may be used as a reference standard for the determination of HMMNI in porcine liver using liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).
HMMNI may be used as an analytical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in:
  • Different matrices of swine using liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-MS/MS).
  • Biological & environmental matrices using liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection (LC-UV).

The anti-trichomonal efficacy and pharmacokinetics of dimetridazole were investigated in the homing pigeon (Columba livia). Dimetridazole was formulated for drinking water medication and as a prolonged-release tablet. To suppress a Trichomonas gallinae infection successfully, medicated drinking water containing dimetridazole (400
