4.3 Drug Indication

For the treatment of bacterial skin infections including pyodermas, infected dermatoses and infections of cuts, wounds, burns and ulcers due to susceptible organisms.


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Nitrofurazone is a topical antibacterial agent indicated as an adjunctive therapy for second and third degree burns when resistance to other agents is a real or potential problem. Nitrofurazone is also indicated in skin grafting when bacterial contamination may cause graft rejection or donor site infection, especially in hospitals with a history of resistant bacteria.


5.2 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

5.5 Metabolism/Metabolites

Nitrofurans, including nitrofural, undergo metabolic reduction at the nitro group to generate reactive species which can covalently bind to cellular macromolecules (Polnaszek et al., 1984; Kutcher & McCalla, 1984; McCalla 1979; McCalla et al., 1975).


/NITROFURAZONE HAS/ BEEN SHOWN TO BE REDUCED BY ENZYMES & PREPN FROM MAMMALIAN LIVER. ... ISOLATION OF A HYDROXYLAMINE INTERMEDIATE IS NOT UNCOMMON IN IN VITRO STUDIES.

Testa, B. and P. Jenner. Drug Metabolism: Chemical & Biochemical Aspects. New York: Marcel Dekker, Inc., 1976., p. 123


The disposition of the antibiotic nitrofurazone was studied in the singlepass isolated perfused rat liver. Both the effects of the steady state level of drug and the composition of the perfusate were evaluated. The higher level (120 ug/ml) of nitrofurazone in a perfusion medium lacking the glutathione precursors, glycine, glutamic acid and cysteine, caused a marked increase in bile flow (from 1.01 + or - 0.07 to 2.33 + or - 1.07 ul/min/g), massiv biliary efflux of glutathione disulfide (from 0.55 + or - 0.07 to 60.6 + or - 25.4 nmol/min/g) and a sharp decline in the caval efflux of glutathione (to undetectable levels) and the tissue level of glutathione (from 5.74 + or - 0.20 to 2.68 + or - 0.13 umol/g). Even after the drug was discontinued, these parameters were not restored to control levels. The lower level (30 ug/ml) of nitrofurazone with or without amino acid supplementatio and the higher level with supplementation induced less dramatic effects. Using (35)S methionine, a new conjugated metabolite of nitrofurazone and glutathione was detected. The data suggest that the toxicity of the reactive oxygen species generated by the redox cycling of the nitro group and the reactive metabolites generated by further reduction of nitrofurazone can be mitigated by adequate glutathione levels, but that livers lacking sufficient glutathione to scavenge these reactive species may be damaged.

5.6 Biological Half-Life

5 hours


5.7 Mechanism of Action

The exact mechanism of action is unknown. Nitrofurazone inhibits several bacterial enzymes, especially those involved in the aerobic and anaerobic degradation of glucose and pyruvate. This activity is believed also to affect pyruvate dehydrogenase, citrate synthetase, malate dehydrogenase, glutathione reductase, and pyruvate decarboxylase.


MECHANISM OF ANTIBACTERIAL ACTION OF FURAN DERIV IS UNKNOWN, BUT IT IS PRESUMED THAT THE COMPD INTERFERES WITH ENZYMATIC PROCESSES ESSENTIAL TO BACTERIAL GROWTH. /FURAN DERIV/

Goodman, L.S., and A. Gilman. (eds.) The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics. 5th ed. New York: Macmillan Publishing Co., Inc., 1975., p. 1003


The exact mechanism of action of nitrofurazone is not known. It appears, howeverthat the drug acts by inhibiting bacterial enzymes involved in carbohydrage metabolism. Oragnic matter (eg, blood pus, serum) and aminobenzoic acid (p-aminobenzoic acid) inhibit the antibacterial action of nitrofurazone.
