== Drugs == Members of this class of drugs include: Antibacterials (antibiotics) Difurazone (also known as Nitrovin) — an antibacterial growth promoter used in animal feeds Furazolidone Nifurfoline Nifuroxazide Nifurquinazol Nifurtoinol Nifurzide Nitrofural (also known as nitrofurazone) Nitrofurantoin — a drug used to treat urinary tract infections Ranbezolid — technically an oxazolidinone antibiotic bearing a nitrofuran group Antimicrobials Furaltadone — an antiprotozoal Furazidine — an antibacterial and antiprotozoal Furaginum — an antibacterial Furylfuramide — a formerly used food preservative Nifuratel — an antiprotozoal and antifungal Nifurtimox — an antiprotozoal FANFT, a potent nitrofuran derivative tumor initiator. It causes bladder tumors in all animals studied and is mutagenic to many bacteria.
