Abstract: This invention is directed to methods for treating and preventing influenza infection by inhibiting influenza virus HA maturation processes employing compounds of formula I. It is also directed to combinations for treating and preventing influenza infection comprising compounds of formula I and other agents.

Abstract: Disclosed is use of thiazolides, such as nitazoxanide and/or tizoxanide, against viruses belonging to the Coronaviridae family, such as viruses belonging to the Orthocoronavirinae subfamily.

Abstract: The present invention refers to: crystalline tizoxanide amine salts, such as e.g. the ethanolamine salt, the morpholine salt, the propanolamine salt, the piperazine salt and the N-methylpiperazine salt, crystalline amine salts of 2-hydroxy-N-(5-halo-1,3-thiazol-2-yl) benzamide derivatives, such as e.g. the 2-hydroxy-N-(5-chloro-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)benzamide (RM-4848), a method for preparing a tizoxanide amine salt from its prodrug nitazoxanide (NTZ), pharmaceutical compositions comprising tizoxanide amine salts, tizoxanide amine salts for use as an antiviral or antiparasitic agent.

Abstract: Solid dosage formulations of nitazoxanide or a nitazoxanide analogue are provided that comprise a controlled release portion and an immediate release portion. The pharmaceutical composition is typically in the form of a bilayer solid oral dosage form comprising (a) a first layer comprising a first quantity of nitazoxanide or analogue thereof in a controlled release formulation; and (b) a second layer comprising a second quantity of nitazoxanide or analogue thereof in an immediate release formulation. Method of using the formulations in the treatment of hepatitis C are also provided.

Abstract: Thiazolide compounds, such as nitazoxanide and/or tizoxanide, may be used against viruses belonging to the Picornaviridae family or the Paramyxoviridae family.

Abstract: Provided are methods of treating a disease or condition associated with an increased level of expression of a protein disulfide-isomerase A3 (PDIA3) by administering to a subject with an increased level of expression of PDIA3 a PDIA3-inhibiting effective amount of a thiazolide compound, such as nitazoxanide or tizoxanide. Also provided are methods of screening for therapeutic agents based on PDIA3 inhibition.

Abstract: The invention provides for the use of pharmaceutical compositions comprising a thiazolide in the stimulation of the immune system in a subject in need thereof, thereby preventing and/or treating viral diseases, cancer and diseases caused by intracellular protozoan infections.

Abstract: Prodrugs of tizoxanide, an analogue or salt thereof are disclosed. The prodrugs have an ester moiety comprising an amino acid moiety, and increase the bioavailability of the tizoxanide, an analogue or salt thereof. Compositions and methods of treating an intracellular protozoan infection, a viral infection or a cancer are also disclosed.
