| Bioactivity | Rifamycin S, a quinone, is an antibiotic against Gram-positive bacteria (including MRSA). Rifamycin S is the oxidized forms of a reversible oxidation-reduction system involving two electrons. Rifamycin S generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inhibits microsomal lipid peroxidation. Rifamycin S can be used for tuberculosis and leprosy[1][2][3]. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | The inhibition of bacterial growth by Rifamycin SV is due to the production of active species of oxygen resulting from the oxidation-reduction cycle of Rifamycin SV in the cells. The aerobic oxidation of Rifamycin SV to Rifamycin S is induced by metal ions, such as Mn2+, Cu2+, and Co2+. The most effective metal ion is Mn2+[2]. | ||||||||||||
