Nifuroxazide is a nitrofuran derivative acting as an intestinal antiseptic. Its core synthesis involves the nitration of furfural followed by coupling with hydrazine hydrate. The chemical formula is C12H9N3O5 and CAS number is 368-57-4.
Avoid use in patients with known hypersensitivity to nitrofurans. Store in a cool, dry place protected from light. Clinical use is restricted to short-term treatment due to potential toxicity risks associated with systemic absorption.
