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.

Tizoxanide (Desacetyl-nitazoxanide) is a metabolite of lamivudine. Lamivudine (2', 3'-dideoxy-3'-thiacytidine, commonly called 3TC) is a potent nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitor (nRTI).

Magainin II is a member of the antimicrobial peptides family

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

Closantel (R-31520), a salicylanilide anthelmintic compound, shows different anthelmintic spectra and obvious toxicity in mammals.

Diclazuril (R-64433) is a coccidiostat.

Chloramphenicol (Chloromycetin) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that inhibits the biosynthesis of bacterial proteins. Chloramphenicol acts primarily on the 50S subunit of the bacterial 70S ribosome and is active against peptidyltransferases, inhibiting the formation of peptide bonds.

Dimetridazole is a nitroimidazole-based compound with antibacterial and anticoccidial activity. It was once widely used in the treatment of parasitic infections in poultry, cattle, swine and farmed fish until suspected to be carcinogenic and mutagenic to humans. Hydroxy dimetridazole is a metabolite of dimetridazole that may be useful for identifying this nitroimidazole in various agricultural samples through liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and other methods.

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

Closantel is a salicylanilide anthelmintic compound; exhibits different anthelmintic spectra and apparent toxicity in mammals.

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

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.

Nifursemizone (Etafurazone) is an agent with antiprotozoal.

Nimorazole (Nimorazol) is a nitroimidazole anti-infective.

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.

Imidocarb dipropionate is an antigenic insecticide, is active against the protozoan parasite B. bovis (IC50 : 0.87 µg/ml).

Dermaseptin acetate, a peptide isolated from frog skin, exhibits potent antimicrobial activity against bacteria, fungi, and protozoa at micromolar concentration[1].

Lasalocid A ammonium is an amine-selective ion carrier and feed additive with antimicrobial activity and antibiotic, growth-promoting properties, inhibits the protozoa of falciparum malaria, and can be used in the study of microbial infections.

Pentamidine dihydrochloride (MP-601205 dihydrochloride) is an aromatic diamidine agent effective against various microorganisms, including protozoa (Trypanosoma brucei, Leishmania spp., and Babesia spp.) and fungi (Pneumocystis jirovecii). It is a potent and selective inhibitor of protein tyrosine phosphatases and phosphatase of regenerating liver. Pentamidine dihydrochloride inhibits the parasite Leishmania infantum with an IC50 of 2.5 μM.

DNDI-6148 has anti-experimental cutaneous leishmaniasis activity and can be used to study visceral leishmaniasis by inhibiting Leishmania protozoa cleavage and polyadenylation-specific factor (CPSF3) endonuclease.

Urethane (Ethyl carbamate; Ethylurethane) is a byproduct formed during the fermentation process of various foods. As an ethyl ester of carbamic acid, it has the ability to inhibit the growth of bacteria, sea urchin eggs, protozoa, and plant tissues, and is commonly used for establishing lung cancer models.
