Biochem/physiol Actions

Rifampicin inhibits the assembly of DNA and protein into mature virus particles. It inhibits initiation of RNA synthesis by binding to β-subunit of RNA polymerase, which results in cell death.

Mode of Action: Inhibits initiation of RNA synthesis by binding to β-subunit of RNA polymerase. Inhibits the assembly of DNA and protein into mature virus particles.
