Nitazoxanide

Sinonimi: 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
