General description

Rifampicin is a microlide antibiotic effective against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, mycobacteria and viruses.

Application

  • Rifampicin is used to treat Tuberculosis and Tuberculosis-related mycobacterial infections.
  • Rifampicin is widely used as an antipruritic agent in the autoimmune cholestatic liver disease, and primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC).
  • Rifampicin was also found active by inhibiting Tau Oligomer Propagation in Alzheimer’s disease.
  • Rifampicin is used as a selection agent for agrobacterium mediated plant transformation.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Inhibits the assembly of DNA and protein into mature virus particles.
Mode of Action: Inhibits initiation of RNA synthesis by binding to β-subunit of RNA polymerase.

Other Notes

The product is supplied in DMSO at a concentration of 50 mg/mL. Working concentrations for agrobacterium selection are typically 10-50 mg/L.
