Rifamycin, 3-[[(2-phenoxyethoxy)imino]methyl]- (9CI)

Description:

Rifamycin, 3-[[(2-phenoxyethoxy)imino]methyl]- (9CI), with the CAS number 41776-67-4, is a synthetic derivative of rifamycin, a class of antibiotics known for their efficacy against bacterial infections, particularly those caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This compound exhibits a complex structure characterized by a rifamycin core, which is modified by the addition of a phenoxyethoxyimino group. Its mechanism of action primarily involves the inhibition of bacterial RNA synthesis by binding to the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, thereby preventing transcription. The compound is typically used in research settings to explore its potential therapeutic applications and to study its pharmacological properties. It may exhibit antibacterial activity, but its specific efficacy and safety profile would depend on various factors, including concentration and the type of bacteria being targeted. As with many antibiotics, resistance can develop, making it crucial to use such compounds judiciously in clinical settings.
