Nitazoxanide is a prodrug form of the antiparasitic tizoxanide (Item No. 13693), an inhibitor of pyruvate-ferredoxin oxidoreductase (PFOR).{17926} It inhibits growth of the parasite C. parvum in MDBK cells when used at a concentration of 10 µg/ml.{57622} It is active against M. tuberculosis and M. bovis (MIC = 16 µg/ml for both) and bactericidal against replicating and non-replicating M. tuberculosis.{17926} Nitazoxanide (5 and 10 µM) inhibits replication of severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and Middle East respiratory syndrome CoV (MERS-CoV).{57523} It also inhibits viral hemagglutinin N-glycosylation and replication of the influenza strains H1N1 PR8 and WSN, as well as H5N9 A/Ck viruses (EC50s = 1, 0.5, and 1 µg/ml, respectively).{19985} Nitazoxanide (250 mg/kg) reduces oocyst shedding and parasite burden, but not the severity of diarrhea, in a gnotobiotic piglet model of C. parvum infection.{57622} Formulations containing nitazoxanide have been used in the treatment of diarrhea caused by G. lamblia or C. parvum.
