Descrizione

Descrizione generale

Nitazoxanide (NTZ), a thiazolide compound[1] is a antiparasitic drug with structure similar to niclosamide.[2]

Applicazioni

Nitazoxanide has been used:

• to test its anti-viral activity against chikungunya virus[3]
• as an antiprotozoal agent to test its effect on cell viability in various cancer cell lines[4]
• to test its effect on human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infected human fibroblast HFF cells[5]

Azioni biochim/fisiol

Nitazoxanide (NTZ) promotes autophagy by acting on kinase based signaling pathways[5] and acts on mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) in Mycobacteria.[2] It has anti-viral property and effectively halts entry and release of chikungunya virus in in vitro studies.[3] NTZ also inhibits Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) infection in early stages and has the potential to treat other viral infections including dengue, hepatitis B (HBV), coronavirus and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).[3] It has antineoplastic functionality and may induce apoptosis by promoting proto-oncogene c-Myc inhibition resulting in tumor suppression.[1]

Nitazoxanide is an inhibitor of pyruvate-ferredoxin oxidoreductase (PFOR); Antimicrobial recently found to kill both non-replicating and replicating mycobacteria.

Nitazoxanide is an inhibitor of pyruvate-ferredoxin oxidoreductase (PFOR); FDA approved anti-parasitic drug (2002). Recent work (C & EN Sept. 14, 2009, p. 28) highlights that NTZ kills non-replicating and replicating TB bacteria and no apparent resistance is detected.
