The nitrofuran derivative, nifurprazine, is a topical antibacterial agent used mainly for the treatment of animal diseases. It is a trypanocidal drug. Nifurprazine proved to be the most promising derivative since it was redox-cycled by both T. cruzi LipDH and TR and had pronounced antiparasitic effects in cultures of T. cruzi and Trypanosoma brucei.

Sample Use Guides

At concentrations of 100 uM, nifurprazine caused a 72% inhibition of trypanothione reductase (TR) activity. At 10 uM, nifurprazine inhibited parasite growth completely, but was also toxic to the mammalian host cells. Nifurprazine (3 uM) induced a 100% growth inhibition of T. brucei.
