General description

Chemical structure: macrolide

Application

Rifampicin is used as a selective cytochrome P4503A4 inducer. Studies have shown that rifampicin inhibits African Swine Fever Virus replication in tissue culture and inhibits the induction of tyrosine aminotransferase by cortisol in rat hepatoma cells grown in culture .

Biochem/physiol Actions

Inhibits the assembly of DNA and protein into mature virus particles.
Mode of Action: Inhibits initiation of RNA synthesis by binding to β-subunit of RNA polymerase.

Other Notes

Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Product is sensitive to light and moisture. Store under inert gas.
