Rifampicin Sodium R040-1G

产品介绍

Rifampicin Sodium (Rifampin) is a semisynthetic antimicrobial compound with immunosuppressive properties derived from Rifamycin SV and originally developed by the Lepetit group in 1965.  Rifampicin shows activity against Gram-positive bacteria, particularly mycobacteria like tuberculosis, some Gram-negative anaerobic bacteria, protozoa, fungi, and poxviruses.

Rifampicin Sodium inhibits the assembly of DNA and protein into mature virus particles. It inhibits initiation of RNA synthesis by binding to β-subunit of RNA polymerase, which results in cell death.

Rifampicin Sodium has been shown to inhibit α-synuclein fibrillation and disaggregate fibrils in a concentration-dependent manner. Rifampicin can activate pregnane X receptor (PXR), which affects cytochrome P450, and the activity of glucuronosyltransferases and P-glycoprotein. Rifampicin has been shown to enhance CYP2C-mediated metabolism, affect compounds that are transported by P-glycoprotein and metabolized by CYP3A4.
