Nifuratel

• UNSPSC Description:

  Nifuratel (NF 113) is an orally active broad-spectrum antibiotic with antiprotozoal, antibacterial, anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities, and has good inhibitory effects on Candida and Trichomonas. Nifuratel is also a STAT3 inhibitor, which significantly inhibits the growth and proliferation of human gastric cancer cells and induces apoptosis. In addition, Nifuratel also inhibits mast cell-mediated antigen hypersensitivity reactions and can be used in the study of IgE-mediated allergic diseases[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8].
