Zolt Suspension 90 mL is a medication belonging to the nitroimidazoles class, known for its broad-spectrum cidal (killing) activity against protozoa and certain anaerobic bacteria. Its remarkable selective toxicity toward anaerobic microbes involves a specific mechanism. The drug enters cells through diffusion, where the nitro group of the medication is reduced by redox proteins found exclusively in anaerobic organisms. This reduction results in the formation of a reactive nitro radical, which exerts cytotoxic action by damaging essential biomolecules, including DNA. This process can lead to DNA helix destabilization and strand breakage. Zolt Suspension 90 mL is commonly used for the treatment of amoebic infections.
