Product Description

Rifamycin S (NSC144130; NSC 144130; NSC-144130) is a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase and an impurity of Rifaximin. Rifaximin (L-105SV; BRN-3584528; Normix; Rifacol; Fatroximin; Rifaxidin; Rifaxin; Ritacol; RCIFAX, Rifagut, Xifaxan, Zaxine) is an orally bioavailable and semi-synthetic RNA synthesis inhibitor used to treat traveler's diarrhea caused by certain bacteria.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Rifamycin SV limits bacterial growth due to the redox cycle of intracellular rifamycin SV that generates reactive oxygen species. Aerobic oxidation of rifamycin SV to rifamycin S is stimulated by metal ions such as Mn2+, Cu2+ and Co2+. The most effective metal ion is Mn2+[2].
ln Vivo
Subsequential granules of rat liver produce hydroxyl radicals when NADH and rifamycin S are present. Compound I, or NADH dehydrogenase, is the primary enzyme responsible for reducing rifamycin S. When compared to NADPH, NADH is nearly as effective as rifamycin S at catalyzing the interaction of these antibiotics with rat liver microsomes. Fe(II) readily reduces rifamycin S to its equivalent hydroquinone, rifamycin SV. A discernible Fe(II)-(rifamycin S)3 complex is formed by rifamycin S. It is possible to fully prevent Fe:ATP-induced lipid peroxidation with rifamycin S. When iron complexes are present, rifamycin S can interact with rat liver microsomes to cause them to go through a redox cycle and then produce hydroxyl radicals [1].

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : ~100 mg/mL (~143.73 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: 2.5 mg/mL (3.59 mM) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 +5% Tween-80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with sonication.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 + to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 1.4373 mL 7.1864 mL 14.3728 mL
5 mM 0.2875 mL 1.4373 mL 2.8746 mL
10 mM 0.1437 mL 0.7186 mL 1.4373 mL

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
