  3. Tizoxanide

Tizoxanide (TIZ) is the active metabolite of Nitazoxanide, which is a thiazolide anti-infective compound against anaerobic bacteria, protozoa, and a range of viruses. Tizoxanide (TIZ) has anti-HIV-1 activities and potent inhibition of both HBV and HCV replication with values EC50 of 0.46μM and 0.15 μM, respectively. Tizoxanide also exerts anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and suppressing of the activation of the NF-κB and the MAPK signaling pathways in LPS-treated macrophage cells.

HIV-1

 

In Vitro

Tizoxanide (TIZ) induces mild mitochondrial uncoupling and activate AMPK in hepatocytes[1].
Tizoxanide (TIZ) inhibits hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication in HCV replicon systems[3].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Cell Viability Assay[1]

Cell Line: HepG2 cells
Concentration: 1-25 µmol/L
Incubation Time: 24 h

Immunofluorescence[1]

Cell Line: HepG2 cells
Concentration: 10 µmol/L
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Promoted the nuclear translocation of TFEB by activating AMPK in HepG2 cells.

RT-PCR[1]

Cell Line: HepG2 cells
Concentration: 1-25 µmol/L
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Induced the increase transcription of SQSTM1/P62 in HepG2 cells.

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: HepG2 cells
Concentration: 1-25 µmol/L
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Activated AMPK and increased phosphorylation of ACC in HepG2 cells.

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay[3]

Cell Line: RP7 cells, NTZ-11 and TIZ-9 cell lines
Concentration: The initial drug concentration was 0.02 µM, followed by 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, and 1 µM, and subsequent weekly increases of 1 µM until a final concentration of 11 µM.
Incubation Time: 3 days
Result: Againsted HCV replication in RP7 cells (IC50: 0.16), NTZ-11 (IC50:1.2) and TIZ-9 cell lines (IC50: 1.5)
In Vivo

Tizoxanide (TIZ) (10 mg/kg; i.v.) can pass the BBB and distribute to the brain tissue. Tizoxanide retains in brain is obviously longer than that in plasma[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Sprague Dawley rats[2]
Dosage: 10 mg/kg
Administration: Tizoxanide (10 mg/kg; i.v.)
Result: Could pass the BBB and distribute to the brain tissue.

In Vivo:

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  15% Cremophor EL    85% Saline

    Solubility: 5 mg/mL (18.85 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic and warming and heat to 60°C

  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  17% Solutol HS-15 in Saline

    Solubility: 5 mg/mL (18.85 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic and warming and heat to 60°C

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
