antiprotozoal

Toltrazuril sulfone (Ponazuril) is an antiprotozoal agent that acts upon Coccidia parasites.

Nifursemizone (Etafurazone) is an agent with antiprotozoal.

Carnidazole (ME-108) shows antiprotozoal activity and can be used in studies about the treatment of Trichomonas infection.

Misonidazole as a novel GPX inhibitors to cause oxidative stress in chemotherapy-resistant tumors.

Broxaldine (Brobenzoxaldine) is a small molecular drug with antiprotozoal activity.

Benznidazol (Benznidazole)e has an antiprotozoal activity by interfering with parasite protein biosynthesis, influencing cytokines production and stimulating host phagocytosis.

Metronidazole (acetic acid) is a metabolite derived from Metronidazole, exhibiting mutagenic activity in bacteria. As a nitroimidazole antibiotic, amebicide, and antiprotozoal agent, Metronidazole is specifically utilized against protozoa and anaerobic bacteria.

Diloxanide (RD3803) is an endomoeba insecticide. It is considered to be the luminal agent of choice for patients with mild enteroamoebiasis or asymptomatic cysts.

Hymenidin, an alkaloid isolated from the Okinawan sponge Hymeniacidon sp. is a 5-hydroxytryptaminergic receptor antagonist and voltage-gated potassium channel inhibitor with potential antiprotozoal effects.It selectively binds to FOXO1 DNA and reduces depolarization-induced elevation of cellular calcium.

Broxyquinoline (5,7-Dibromo-8-hydroxyquinoline) is an antiprotozoal agent, and it can release oxygen free radicals from the water in mucous membranes.

Furazolidone (Furoxone), a nitrofuran derivative, inhibits AML1-ETO transformed cells with IC50 value of 12.7 μM. It is antibacterial and antiprotozoal activity,

Tinidazole (CP12574)a is a 5-nitroimidazole derivative with the antiprotozoal property. Although the mechanism of action has not been fully elucidated, it has been suggested that tinidazole is metabolized and yields nitrite anions and metronidazole. Metronidazole's nitro group, in turn, is reduced via the parasite ferredoxin, thereby generating a series of free nitro radicals including nitro anions. Toxicity is achieved via depletion of sulfhydryl groups and DNA strand breaks with multiple hits having an additive effect and ultimately leading to cell death.

Monensin sodium salt (Monensin A sodium salt) is an antibiotic secreted by Streptomyces cinnamaticus and acts as an ion carrier that mediates Na+/H+ exchange. Monensin is an effective inhibitor of Wnt signaling. Monensin causes a significant increase in multivesicular bodies (MVBs) and regulates exosome secretion. Monensin sodium salt exhibits biological activities including anticoccidial, antibacterial, antitumor, and cell signaling regulatory effects. Monensin sodium salt can be used in studies of cellular ion transport and metabolism.

Toltrazuril (Toltrazurilo), an antiprotozoal agent, has effect on Coccidia parasites.

Metronidazole (Metronidazol) is a synthetic nitroimidazole derivative with antiprotozoal and antibacterial activities.

Sulfaquinoxaline (Sulfabenzpyrazine) is an antiprotozoal agent.

Chlortetracycline Hydrochloride is a tetracycline with broad-spectrum antibacterial and antiprotozoal activity. Chlortetracycline hydrochloride (Isphamycin) is bacteriostatic and inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, thereby preventing the addition of amino acids to the growing peptide chain. This tetracycline is active against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative organisms, spirochetes, rickettsial species, certain protozoa and Mycoplasma and Chlamydia organisms.

Nifuratel (SAP 113) is a local antiprotozoal and antifungal agent that may also be given orally.

Nitazoxanide (NSC-697855) is a synthetic benzamide with antiprotozoal activity. Nitazoxanide exerts its antiprotozoal activity by interfering with the pyruvate ferredoxin/flavodoxin oxidoreductase dependent electron transfer reaction.

Ornidazole (Tiberal) is a nitroimidazole antiprotozoal agent used in ameba and trichomonas infections. It is partially plasma-bound and also has radiation-sensitizing action.

Ronidazole (Ronidazol) is an antiprotozoal and antimicrobial agent used mainly in veterinary practice.

Pentamidine is an antifungal and antiprotozoal agent, interacting directly with the pathogen genome by binding to AT-rich regions of duplex DNA and the minor groove of DNA, thereby interfering with DNA replication.

Buparvaquone (BW 720C) is a hydroxynaphthoquinone antiprotozoal drug related to atovaquone and parvaquone.

Nifurtimox (BAY-A-2502) is an antiprotozoal agent (IC50s = 9.91, 12.28, and 10.44 μM against Taluahuén, LQ, and Brener strains of T. cruzi- epimastigotes, respectively).
