Rifamycin S（Cat No.:R050562）is a potent antibiotic that inhibits bacterial RNA polymerase, making it effective against a wide range of bacterial infections. It works by binding to the β-subunit of RNA polymerase, preventing the transcription of bacterial DNA into RNA. This interruption of bacterial gene expression results in the inhibition of bacterial growth and replication. Rifamycin S is commonly used in research to study bacterial gene expression and as a scaffold for developing new antibiotics. Its derivatives are also utilized in the treatment of tuberculosis and other resistant bacterial infections.
