In enzymology, a bromoxynil nitrilase (EC 3.5.5.6) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxybenzonitrile + 2 H2O 3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxy-benzoate + NH3

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxybenzonitrile and H2O, whereas its two products are 3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxy-benzoate and NH3.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in nitriles. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxybenzonitrile aminohydrolase. This enzyme participates in 1,4-dichlorobenzene degradation.

Nitroxinil is an anthelmintic, a veterinary medicine against parasitic worms in sheep and cattle. The substance is active against the liver fluke the Fasciola hepatica and to a lesser extent against thread worms in the gastrointestinal tract. Brand names include Fluconix, Dovenix and Trodax. Nitroxynil is also used against strains of the red gum worm that have become resistant to benzimidazoles.
