Tizoxanide is an active metabolite of the antiparasitic nitazoxanide (Item No. 13692). Tizoxanide is formed from nitazoxanide via deacetylation of nitazoxanide in the stomach. It is active against M. tuberculosis (MIC = 16 µg/ml). It also reduces the growth of the disease-causing parasites L. mexicana and T. cruzi in vitro (IC50s = 6.2 and 17.5 μM, respectively), inhibits influenza A replication (EC50s = 0.3-1 μM), and inhibits hepatitis B and hepatitis C virus replication (EC50 = 0.15 μM for both).
