Description

Nitazoxanide acts as a noncompetitive inhibitor of the pyruvate: ferredoxin/flavodoxin oxidoreductases of various microorganism with Ki values between 2 and 10 μM. Nitazoxanide is clinically relevant for its broad-spectrum action to reduce the growth of bacteria, various parasites, and especially for its efficacy against the pathogen Helicobacter pylori. Nitazoxanide also has been shown to be effective in treating inflammatory bowel disease and acute enteritis caused by bacteria. In 2021, nitazoxanide was tested for the treatment of COVID-19 patients with mild symptoms due to its broad antiviral action.
