Thiolutin（Cat No.:R056383）is a potent, small-molecule inhibitor of RNA polymerase and protein synthesis, primarily targeting bacterial transcription. It inhibits bacterial growth by blocking RNA polymerase elongation, making it effective against a range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Thiolutin also has anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic properties, with potential therapeutic applications in autoimmune diseases and fibrosis. In addition to its antimicrobial activity, it serves as a valuable tool in molecular research, particularly in studying bacterial transcription mechanisms and RNA processing. It has also been explored for its potential in cancer therapy due to its cellular effects.
