Product Data
Biological target:
Rifabutin is a semisynthetic ansamycin antibiotic with potent antimycobacterial properties. Rifabutin inhibits DNA-dependent RNA polymerase.
In vitro activity:
Mutations Asp516Val, Asp516Tyr, Leu533Pro and the double mutation Met515Ile and Leu533Pro influenced susceptibility to rifampicin, but not to rifabutin. All mutations at codons 531 and 526, except one isolate with a His526Cys mutation, correlated with resistance to both compounds. Reference: Clin Microbiol Infect. 2004 Jul;10(7):662-5. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15214882/
In vivo activity:
The concomitant use of rifabutin and highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) can lead to successful treatment of HIV-infected patients with tuberculosis without increased side effects. Reference: Clin Infect Dis. 2000 May;30(5):779-83. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10816148/
