Secnidazole is a second-generation 5-nitroimidazole antimicrobial that is structurally related to other 5-nitroimidazoles including [DB00916] and [DB00911], but displays improved oral absorption and longer terminal elimination half-life than antimicrobial agents in this class. Secnidazole is selective against many anaerobic Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and protozoa. In September 2017, FDA granted approval to secnidazole under the market name Solosec as a single-dose oral treatment for bacterial vaginosis, which is a common vaginal infection in women aged 15 to 44 years. The antimicrobial therapy is only intended to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria.
Secnidazole is a Nitroimidazole Antimicrobial.

5.5 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

Secnidazole is rapidly and completely absorbed after oral administration. Following a single oral dose of 2 g in healthy adult female subjects, the mean (SD) secnidazole peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of 45.4 (7.64) mcg/mL and mean (SD) systemic exposure (AUC0-inf) of 1331.6 (230.16) mcg x hr/mL was reached. Median (range) time to peak concentration (Tmax) was 4.0 (3.0-4.0) hours.


Route of Elimination

The predominant route of elimination is renal elimination. Following a single oral dose of 2g secnidazole, approximately 15% of the drug is excreted as unchanged compoung in the urine.


Volume of Distribution

The apparent volume of distribution of secnidazole is approximately 42-49 L.


Clearance

The total body clearance of secnidazole is approximately 25 mL/min. The renal clearance of secnidazole is approximately 3.9 mL/min.


5.6 Metabolism/Metabolites

According to *in vitro* studies, secnidazole is metabolized via oxidation by human hepatic CYP450 enzyme system with 1% conversion to metabolites.


5.7 Biological Half-Life

The plasma elimination half-life for secnidazole is approximately 17 hours.


5.8 Mechanism of Action

Secnidazole enters the bacterial cell as a prodrug without an antimicrobial activity. The drug is converted to an active form via reduction of nitro groups to radical anions by bacterial enzymes. The radical anions are thought to interfere with bacterial DNA synthesis of susceptible isolates.
