Rifamycin PR-14

CAS: 21240-38-0

Rifamycin PR-14 is a semi-synthetic antibiotic, which is derived from the naturally occurring antibiotic rifamycin. Originating from a fermentation process involving the bacterium Amycolatopsis mediterranei, rifamycin is modified to create the PR-14 variant to enhance its antibacterial properties and pharmacokinetic profile. This compound functions by inhibiting bacterial DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, effectively halting RNA synthesis and subsequent protein production, leading to bacterial cell death.
