  <class>SmallMolecule</class>
  <description>Nitazoxanide is an organic compound with the formula C12H9N3O5S and an average molecular weight of 307.28 g/mol. Nitazoxanide belongs to the benzoic acids and derivatives, a subclass of benzene and substituted derivatives within the organic compounds.

This compound is identified as an inhibitor and antagonist of the protein target pyruvate:ferredoxin oxidoreductase (por). It has been found in or released from seven recorded sources, including healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and veterinary products such as antiprotozoals and combinations of antibacterials. Other recorded sources include electrical and electronic equipment, specifically radio transmission systems, electric switches, and electrically stimulated smoking devices. Additionally, it is associated with household cleaning and consumer products, specifically cigar cigarettes, as well as food, food processing, and cookware, specifically the preparation of malt. The recorded exposure route for this substance is oral.</description>
