Product Description
Rifamycin·Na (Rifamycin SV monosodium; Rifocin; Rifamastene; CB 01-11, NSC-146718) is naturally occurring and broad-spectrum antibiotic acting as an inhibitor of bacterial DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, which may lead to the suppression of RNA synthesis and cell death. It is effective against Gram-positive bacteria and is moderately active against Gram-negative bacteria.
Rifamycin·Na (CAS 14897-39-3), also known as Rifamycin Sodium or Rifamycin SV sodium salt, is an orally active ansamycin antibiotic. It inhibits DNA-dependent RNA synthesis. It has antibacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is a derivative of rifamycin, an antibiotic that inhibits bacterial DNA-dependent RNA polymerase. It is effective against Gram-positive bacteria. It interferes with hepatic bile acid metabolism.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Rifamycin·Na targets bacterial DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, inhibiting DNA-dependent RNA synthesis. By binding to the β-subunit of RNA polymerase, it prevents the initiation of transcription, leading to bacterial cell death. It has antibacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other Gram-positive bacteria. Its mechanism of action is similar to that of rifampicin, another ansamycin antibiotic. The compound's effects on hepatic bile acid metabolism suggest interactions with liver function.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Rifamycin·Na has demonstrated antibacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Gram-positive bacteria. It inhibits DNA-dependent RNA synthesis. Its antibacterial activity is typically assessed using broth microdilution methods to determine minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC). Its effects on bacterial RNA polymerase can be measured using in vitro transcription assays. These in vitro activities confirm its potential as an antibacterial agent and a tool for studying transcription.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Rifamycin·Na is effective in mice infected with M. tuberculosis at 5 mg/day administered subcutaneously 3 days a week. It is used to treat gastrointestinal infections due to its minimal oral absorption. After maternal use, rifamycin is unlikely to enter breast milk or the infant's bloodstream. Its effects on hepatic bile acid metabolism have been observed. These in vivo effects support its antibacterial activity and its potential for treating infections.
Enzyme Assay
For in vitro biochemical assays, Rifamycin·Na is evaluated for its antibacterial activity and RNA polymerase inhibition. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is determined using broth microdilution or agar dilution methods against bacterial strains including M. tuberculosis. RNA polymerase inhibition is measured using in vitro transcription assays with purified bacterial RNA polymerase and DNA templates. These cell-free and cell-based assays help characterize the compound's antibacterial activity and mechanism of action.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for Rifamycin·Na are performed using bacterial cultures. Bacteria including M. tuberculosis and Gram-positive strains are cultured in appropriate media and treated with the compound at various concentrations. Bacterial growth is monitored by measuring optical density or by colony counting. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) are determined. These cellular assays help validate the compound's antibacterial activity.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments with Rifamycin·Na are conducted in mouse models of tuberculosis infection. Mice infected with M. tuberculosis are treated with Rifamycin·Na at 5 mg/day administered subcutaneously 3 days a week. Efficacy endpoints include bacterial load reduction in lungs and survival. The compound's safety and tolerability are monitored through body weight, clinical signs, and histopathology. These studies help establish the compound's in vivo efficacy.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of Rifamycin·Na have been characterized. The compound is minimally absorbed orally and is used only to treat gastrointestinal infections. After maternal use, it is unlikely to enter breast milk or the infant's bloodstream. The compound has a molecular weight of 719.75. It is soluble in water. Detailed PK parameters such as half-life, Cmax, Tmax, AUC, and protein binding are available in the pharmacological literature.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Effects During Pregnancy and Lactation
◉ Overview of Use During Lactation
Rifampicin is minimally absorbed orally and is used only to treat gastrointestinal infections. After maternal use, rifamycin is unlikely to enter breast milk or the infant's bloodstream, and is unlikely to have any adverse effects on breastfed infants.
◉ Effects on Breastfed Infants
As of the revision date, no relevant published information was found.
◉ Effects on Lactation and Breast Milk
As of the revision date, no relevant published information was found.
The toxicological profile of Rifamycin·Na is related to its antibacterial activity and effects on liver function. It interferes with hepatic bile acid metabolism. The compound is generally well-tolerated at therapeutic doses but may cause gastrointestinal disturbances. It is intended for research use and clinical applications require appropriate medical supervision. Comprehensive toxicity studies have been conducted to support its use as an antibiotic.

  • 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)
