PFOR ^[2]

mTORC1 ^[6]

In vitro
In vitro	Nitazoxanide reduces parasite growth in cell culture by more than 90% with little evidence of drug-associated cytotoxicity. ^[1] Nitazoxanide is a new thiazolide antiparasitic agent that shows excellent in vitro activity against a wide variety of protozoa and helminths. ^[2] Nitazoxanide and its metabolite tizoxanide are more active in vitro than metronidazole against G. intestinalis, E. histolytica and T. vaginalis. ^[3] Nitazoxanide exhibits potent inhibition of both HBV and HCV replication. Nitazoxanide potentiates the effect of subsequent treatment with Nitazoxanide plus IFN, but not Nitazoxanide plus 2'CmeC, in HCV replicon-containing cells. Nitazoxanide induces reductions in several HBV proteins (HBsAg, HBeAg, HBcAg) produced by 2.2.15 cells, but does not affect HBV RNA transcription. ^[4] Nitazoxanide exhibits IC50, and IC90 values of 0.017 and 0.776 mg/mL respectively, against E. histolytica, 0.004 and 0.067 mg/mL against G. intestinalis, and 0.034 and 2.046 mg/mL against T. vaginalis. Nitazoxanide is more toxic than metronidazole and albendazole against E. histolytica. ^[5]

In Vivo
In vivo	Nitazoxanide is partially effective at reducing the parasite burden in a gnotobiotic piglet diarrhea model when given orally for 11 days at 250 mg/kg/day but not at 125 mg/kg/day. Nitazoxanide induces a drug-related diarrhea in piglets that might have influenced its therapeutic efficacy. ^[1]

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH₂O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
