Nitazoxanide

Synonyms: Alinia, Nitazoxanide, 2-(Acetyloxy)-N-(5-nitro-2-thiazolyl)benzamide, NTZ, 55981-09-4

Nitazoxanide has become a staple in anti-infective portfolios, especially as demand grows for broad-spectrum antiparasitic and antiviral candidates. Formulators value its well-documented activity against a range of protozoa and anaerobic bacteria, making it a versatile API for both human and veterinary applications.

Chemically, Nitazoxanide is a nitrothiazolyl-salicylamide derivative first developed in the 1980s. It is synthesized through acylation of 2-amino-5-nitrothiazole with acetylsalicylic acid. The molecule acts as a prodrug, with its active metabolite tizoxanide responsible for the primary pharmacological effects.

We supply Nitazoxanide with a minimum assay of 98.0% (HPLC), ensuring consistent potency for pharmaceutical compounding and research. Its favorable safety profile and broad-spectrum activity make it a reliable choice for manufacturers targeting enteric and systemic infections.

Product Overview & Composition

Nitazoxanide is a synthetic nitrothiazole derivative. It is practically insoluble in water but dissolves in polar aprotic solvents like DMSO. The compound is stable under normal storage conditions and is typically micronized to improve bioavailability in oral formulations.
