Rifapentine is a semi-synthetic broad-spectrum bactericidal agent with strong antibacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis in vitro, with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 0.12-0.25 mg/L, 2-10 times stronger than rifampicin; its anti-tuberculosis infection effect in mice is also better than rifampicin. Mycobacterium leprae and other mycobacteria such as Mycobacterium kansasii and Mycobacterium toad are also sensitive to this product, but Mycobacterium avium is resistant. In addition, this product has high antibacterial activity against most Gram-positive cocci, with a MIC of 0.025 mg/L; it has poor effect on Gram-negative bacteria. Its effect on Chlamydia is similar to that of erythromycin and doxycycline, but worse than rifampicin; it has poor effect on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus. According to in vitro test results, Chlamydia, Staphylococcus aureus and Neisseria gonorrhoeae will develop resistance to this product. Combined with doxycycline, it has a synergistic effect on Neisseria gonorrhoeae; combined with isoniazid, its effect on tuberculosis bacteria far exceeds that of rifampicin and isoniazid combined. Its mechanism of action is the same as that of rifampicin, which is to firmly bind to the subunits of DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, inhibit the synthesis of bacterial RNA, prevent the enzyme from connecting to DNA, thereby blocking the RNA transcription process and stopping the synthesis of DNA and protein. Animal experiments have shown that this product has certain liver toxicity and teratogenic effects on the fetus.
