Chemical Structure

Biological activities

Rifadin is a semisynthetic antibiotic produced from Streptomyces mediterranei for treatment of tuberculosis and inactive meningitis. Rifadin has a broad antibacterial spectrum, including activity against several forms of Mycobacterium. The MIC and MBC of rifadin is 0.03 and 0.25 ng/mL, respectively. In susceptible organisms, rifadin inhibits DNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity by forming a stable complex with the enzyme, suppressing the initiation of RNA synthesis.[1] MICs for 50% and 90% of rifadin are 0.1 and >100 µg/mL in M. tuberculosis. MICs for 50% and 90% of rifadin are 6.25 and 50 µg/mL in M. intracellulare.[2] In OF1 male mice infected with F. solani (FMR 439), rifadin (20 mg/kg/day given once a day by gavage) combined with amphotericin B has an median survival time of 13 days compared to 9 days in control.[3]

Protocols

In vitro: In vivo: Rifadin at 1,000 µg/mL is prepared with sterile distilled water.[3]
