Nitazoxanide (NTZ) and its metabolite tizoxanide (TIZ) were studied as antimycobacterial agents in vitro (in mycobacterial growth indicator tube [MGIT] cultures) and in a whole blood bactericidal assay. Both NTZ and TIZ show high protein binding. In MGIT cultures (albumin concentration = 78 μM), inhibition of Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth occurred at total drug concentrations of ≥16 μg/ml, whereas in whole blood cultures (albumin concentration = 350 μM), ≥128 μg/ml was required. Free drug fractions at these two conditions were estimated to be 69% and 2%, respectively. Co-incubation of NTZ and TIZ in human plasma for 72 h nearly completely eliminated their ability to inhibit mycobacterial growth in MGIT. Interactions with plasma proteins may limit the potential of NTZ and TIZ as drugs for human tuberculosis.
硝唑尼特(NTZ)及其代谢物替唑尼特(TIZ)作为抗分枝杆菌药物进行了体外研究(在分枝杆菌生长指示管[MGIT]培养物中)以及全血杀菌试验。NTZ和TIZ均显示出高蛋白结合率。在MGIT培养物中(白蛋白浓度 = 78 μM),当总药物浓度≥16 μg/ml时,结核分枝杆菌的生长受到抑制,而在全血培养物中(白蛋白浓度 = 350 μM),则需要≥128 μg/ml。在这两种条件下,游离药物分数分别估计为69%和2%。NTZ和TIZ在人血浆中共同孵育72小时几乎完全消除了它们在MGIT中抑制分枝杆菌生长的能力。与血浆蛋白的相互作用可能会限制NTZ和TIZ作为治疗人类结核病药物的潜力。
