Nausea and vomiting are the most common side effects of oral furazolidone therapy; abdominal pain and diarrhea occasionally occur. These effects can be minimized or eliminated by reducing dosage or discontinuing the drug.

Hypersensitivity reactions to oral furazolidone have occurred in a small number of patients and generally subside with discontinuance of the drug. Hypersensitivity reactions include a fall in blood pressure, angioedema, fever, arthralgia, urticaria, and a vesicular or morbilliform rash. Erythema multiforme, pulmonary infiltration, and pulmonary eosinophilia also have been reported and may be due to hypersensitivity.

Headache and malaise occur occasionally with oral furazolidone therapy and can be minimized or eliminated by reducing dosage or discontinuing the drug. Following oral furazolidone administration, hypoglycemia, agranulocytosis, and, in one patient, partial deafness and dizziness have also been reported. Rarely, some patients receiving oral furazolidone experience a disulfiram-like reaction to alcohol. Polyneuritis and hemolytic anemia (in patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency and in neonates) also have been reported rarely.

Furoxone has a broad antibacterial spectrum covering the majority of gastrointestinal tract pathogens including E. coli, staphylococci, Salmonella, Shigella, Proteus, Aerobacter aerogenes, Vibrio cholerae and Giardia lamblia. Its bactericidal activity is based upon its interference with DNA replication and protein production; this antimicrobial action minimizes the development of resistant organisms.

Absorption
Radiolabeled drug studies indicate that furazolidone is well absorbed following oral administration
After a single oral dose of 100 mg/kg body weight to rats, only 3% of the dose was recovered in the feces as unmetabolized compound.

Furazolidone is rapidly and extensively metabolized; the primary metabolic pathway identified begins with nitro-reduction to the aminofuran derivative. Two major metabolites are produced: 3-amino-2-oxazolidone (AOZ) or beta-hydroxyethylhydrazine (HEH). AOZ is responsible for monoamine oxidase inhibition. Detoxification and elimination of the drug is done primarily by conjugation with glutathione.
In vitro metabolism of furazolidone by milk xanthine oxidase and rat liver homogenate yielded approximately equal amounts (30%) of 2,3-dihydro-3-cyano-methyl-2-hydroxyl-5-nitro-1a,2-di(2-oxo-oxazolidine-3-yl)imi nomethylfuro(2,3b)furan, and 3-(4-cyano-2-oxobutyl-lideneamino)-2-oxazolidone. The latter was also isolated from the urine of rabbits given on oral dose of furazolidone.

Furazolidone is an antimicrobial compound used in human and veterinary medicine. The aim of this investigation was to determine its genotoxic capacity in vitro and in vivo. We used the human lymphocyte culture system to detect the effect of 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, or 10.0 ug/ml, and the mouse bone marrow assay to determine the effect of 8.6, 30.0, or 75.0 mg/kg furazolidone. In both systems we determined the frequency of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCE), the cell proliferation kinetics (CPK), and the mitotic index (MI). The in vitro results showed a significant SCE increase starting from the second dose tested and a CPK and MI decrease starting from the third dose. The in vivo results showed a SCE increase with the two high doses tested, but no significant modification was found in the CPK and MI with the three doses tested in the experiment.

In vitro metabolism of furazolidone (N-(5-nitro-2-furfuryliden)-3-amino-2-oxazolidone) was investigated by using milk xanthine oxidase and rat liver 9000 g supernatant. A new type of reduction product was isolated as 1 of the main metabolites from the incubation mixture and it was tentatively identified as 2,3-dihydro-3-cyanomethyl-2-hydroxyl-5-nitro-1a,2-di(2-oxo-oxazolidin-3-yl)imino methyl-furo(2,3-b)furan. The formation of N-(5-amino-2-furfurylidene)-3-amino-2-oxazolidone as a minor metabolite of nitrofuran in a milk xanthine oxidase system was demonstrated. The aminofuran derivative was easily degraded by milk xanthine oxidase under aerobic, but not anaerobic, conditions. The degradation appears to be due to superoxide anion radicals, hydroxy radicals and/or singlet O2, which are produced in this enzyme system. (Furazolidone, an antibacterial nitrofuran widely used as a veterinary medicine, was mutagenic in Escherichia coli WP2 and Salmonella typhimurium TA100 and tumorigenic in rats).

Furazolidone and its related free radical products are believed to bind DNA and induce cross-links. Bacterial DNA is particularly susceptible to this drug leading to high levels of mutations (transitions and transversions) in the bacterial chromosome.
We are studying the development of unilateral malformations. Several chemicals elicit right sided limb defects both in vivo and in vitro. For example, nitroheterocyclics such as furazolidone (FZ) induce asymmetric defects in rat embryos in vitro. Potential mechanisms include asymmetric drug delivery; intrinsic difference between the cells of the left and right limbs; physiological asymmetry (e.g. in tissue oxygen), secondary to another primary asymmetry (e.g. in limb vasculature). In one series of experiments, we have investigated the role of an asymmetry in drug delivery and/or tissue oxygen. 10.3 days embryonic age rat embryos were explanted and cultured for two hours to allow 'recovery'. Embryos were then exteriorised (removal from yolk sac and amnion, retaining intact circulation) and cultured in the presence of 20 uM FZ with 5% O2 for 24h. The assumption was that exteriorisation would abolish any drug delivery or tissue oxygen asymmetry, by direct embryonic exposure to the medium. As previously described, FZ induced right sided defects (limb, eye and fore-brain) in 42% of intact yolk sac embryos. In contrast, exposure of exteriorised embryos to FZ induced a 34% incidence of abnormalities which were identical, but exclusively left sided. The results do not support a simple hypothesis that asymmetric drug delivery or tissue oxygen levels are responsible for the unilateral defects. We are investigating two potential explanations: a) Exteriorisation specifically reverses limb bud susceptibility, b) A secondary asymmetry e.g. mitochondrial maturity is altered by exteriorisation which then acts to invert the limb response. In a second series of experiments, we have also investigated a possible primary asymmetry in the development of the limb vasculature, using whole mount in situ hybridisation with a probe specific for early endothelial cell precursors (flk-1). The results are being analysed using confocal microscopy to image the limb vascular architecture.
