Nitrofurantoin is indicated to treat acute uncomplicated urinary tract infections.
FDA Label
Nitrofurantoin interferes with vital processes in bacteria, which leads to their death. Nitrofurantoin rapidly reaches therapeutic concentrations in the urine and is also cleared rapidly.
Anti-Bacterial Agents
Substances that inhibit the growth or reproduction of BACTERIA. (See all compounds classified as Anti-Bacterial Agents.)
Anti-Infective Agents, Urinary
Substances capable of killing agents causing urinary tract infections or of preventing them from spreading. (See all compounds classified as Anti-Infective Agents, Urinary.)
J - Antiinfectives for systemic use
J01 - Antibacterials for systemic use
J01X - Other antibacterials
J01XE - Nitrofuran derivatives
J01XE01 - Nitrofurantoin
Absorption
Nitrofurantoin reaches a Cmax of 0.875-0.963mg/L with an AUC of 2.21-2.42mg\*h/L. It is 38.8-44.3% bioavailable. Taking nitrofurantoin with food increases the absorption and duration of therapeutic concentrations in the urine.
Route of Elimination
27-50% of an oral dose is excreted in the urine as unchanged nitrofurantoin. 90% of the total dose is eliminated in the urine.
Volume of Distribution
Data regarding the volume of distribution in humans is scarce but it has been reported as 0.46L/kg in dogs.
Clearance
The clearance of nitrofurantoin is 16.7-19.4L/h.
.../IT/ IS RAPIDLY & COMPLETELY ABSORBED FROM GI TRACT. ... PLASMA HALF-LIFE IS 0.3 TO 1 HR; ABOUT 40% IS EXCRETED UNCHANGED INTO URINE. AVG DOSE OF NITROFURANTOIN YIELDS URINE CONCN OF APPROX 200 UG/ML. ... RATE OF EXCRETION IS LINEARLY RELATED TO CREATININE CLEARANCE...

Nitrofurantoin is converted by bacterial nitroreductases to electrophilic intermediates which inhibit the citric acid cycle as well as synthesis of DNA, RNA, and protein.
MICROSOMAL AND SOLUBLE FRACTIONS FROM BOTH RAT LIVER AND LUNG MEDIATED THE COVALENT BINDING OF (14)C-LABELED NITROFURANTOIN (I) TO TISSUE MACROMOLECULES IN VITRO. OXYGEN STRONGLY INHIBITED THE BINDING IN BOTH FRACTIONS, AND CARBON MONOXIDE FAILED TO INHIBIT THE BINDING IN MICROSOMAL PREPARATIONS, INDICATING ACTIVATION OF I IN BOTH SYSTEMS BY NITROREDUCTION RATHER THAN OXIDATION OF THE FURAN RING. MICROSOMAL NITROREDUCTION AND COVALENT BINDING OF I WERE INHIBITED BY AN ANTIBODY AGAINST NADPH-CYTOCHROME C REDUCTASE AND COVALENT BINDING WAS ENHANCED BY THE ADDITION OF FAD. IN SOLUBLE FRACTIONS, MAXIMUM RATES OF COVALENT BINDING WERE OBTAINED IN THE PRESENCE OF NADH AND HYPOXANTHINE, AND IT WAS INHIBITED BY ALLOPURINOL, A XANTHINE OXIDASE INHIBITOR. REDUCED GLUTATHIONE DECREASED COVALENT BINDING OF I IN BOTH MICROSOMAL AND SOLUBLE FRACTIONS OF LIVER AND LUNG, BUT THE RATE OF NITROREDUCTION WAS UNAFFECTED.

THE HYPOTHESIS IS PRESENTED THAT THE TOXICITY OF NITROFURANS SUCH AS NITROFURANTOIN (I), WHICH ARE USED IN COMMERCIAL POULTRY PRODUCTION, IS DUE TO OXIDATIVE METABOLIC STRESS CAUSED BY THE O2- FREE RADICAL FORMED DURING METABOLISM OF THE COMPOUNDS.
