Biological target:
Rifapentine (DL 473) is an antibiotic compound used in the treatment of tuberculosis that inhibits DNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity in susceptible cells.
In vitro activity:
This study demonstrated that Rifapentine-loaded poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) microspheres (RPMs)-loaded bone-like hydroxyapatite/poly amino acid (BHA/PAA) has an effective activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This study demonstrates the potential value of RPM-loaded BHA/PAA in treating bone and joint tuberculosis. Reference: Cell Biol Int. 2017 Apr;41(4):369-373. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28102559/
In vivo activity:
The incidence of leprosy among household contacts of patients with leprosy over 4 years was lower with single-dose rifapentine than with no intervention. In an intention-to-treat analysis, the cumulative incidence in the rifapentine treatment group was 84% lower than that in the control group Reference: N Engl J Med. 2023 May 18;388(20):1843-1852. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37195940/

Note: There can be variations in solubility for the same chemical from different vendors or different batches from the same vendor. The following factors can affect the solubility of the same chemical: solvent used for crystallization, residual solvent content, polymorphism, salt versus free form, degree of hydration, solvent temperature. Please use the solubility data as a reference only. Warming and sonication will facilitate dissolving. Still have questions? Please contact our Technical Support scientists.

Preparing Stock Solutions
