[The efficacy of established, systemically active trichomonacidal agents in the infection model tri-chomonas...

Experimental chemotherapeutical studies were carried out with metronidazole, tinidazole, nitrimidazine and ornidazole in rats infected with Trichomonas vaginalis intravaginally. All compounds tested showed a systemic trichomonacidal activity within rather a narrow dosage range after three oral doses and also after a single dose, i.e., 1.4-3.0 mg/kg and 7.7-15.9 mg/kg body weight (DC50), respectively.
