Rifabutin is a semi-synthetic antibiotic derived from rifamycin, primarily used for treating tuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium complex infections. It features a unique chemical structure with the molecular formula C45H60N10O12 and CAS number 72559-18-5. The core manufacturing process involves fermentation followed by specific chemical modifications to enhance bioavailability.
Strictly monitor for hepatotoxicity and drug-drug interactions via CYP450 induction. Store in a cool, dry place below 25°C protected from light. Avoid use in patients with known hypersensitivity to rifamycins without prior clinical assessment.
