Rifapentine

A rifamycin antibiotic, similar to rifampicin but carrying a cyclopentane ring, first synthesised in 1965 and approved in the United States in 1998; it is used against tuberculosis, including latent tuberculosis together with isoniazid. This family brings together the active ingredient, labelled standards and other impurities.

Did you know?The rifamycins owe their name to the 1955 French film 'Rififi': they were isolated in Milan in 1957 from a bacterium found in a soil sample collected near Saint-Raphaël, on the French Riviera.
