Product Information

• Name: 25-Desacetyl rifapentin
• Synonyms: 3-[[(4-Cyclopentyl-1-piperazinyl)imino]methyl]-25-O-deacetyl-rifamycin25-DeacetylrifapentineL 14583
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 25-Desacetyl rifapentin is a derivative of rifapentin, an antibiotic belonging to the rifamycin class, sourced from the bacterial species *Amycolatopsis rifamycinica*. This compound functions by inhibiting bacterial DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, which is crucial for transcription in susceptible bacterial strains. By inhibiting this enzyme, 25-Desacetyl rifapentin effectively hampers RNA synthesis, ultimately leading to bacterial cell death.
