Product Information

• Name: N-Desisobutyl-N-propyl rifabutin
• Synonyms: 1',4-Didehydro-1-deoxy-1,4-dihydro-1-oxo-5'-propylrifamycin XIV
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: N-Desisobutyl-N-propyl rifabutin is a synthetic derivative of rifabutin, which is an antibiotic belonging to the rifamycin class. This compound is sourced from modifications of the parent molecule rifabutin, itself derived from the rifamycin family produced by the bacterium Amycolatopsis, traditionally used for its antimicrobial properties. The mode of action involves the inhibition of bacterial RNA polymerase, effectively preventing the transcription process necessary for bacterial replication and protein synthesis. This disruption of RNA synthesis provides potent antimicrobial activity.
