Rifamycin
Rifamycin is a macrocyclic antibiotic of the ansamycin class produced by Amycolatopsis rifamycinica that inhibits bacterial DNA-dependent RNA polymerase by binding to its beta subunit, blocking transcription initiation and RNA chain elongation in susceptible bacteria. It is used as a non-absorbable oral antibiotic for prevention of traveler's diarrhea and treatment of hepatic encephalopathy, and is also the parent compound of the clinically important rifamycin derivatives.
