Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including: http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/1998/21024lbl.pdf http://www.drugbank.ca/drugs/DB01201

PRIFTIN® (rifapentine) is indicated in adults and children 12 years and older for the treatment of active pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. PRIFTIN must always be used in combination with one or more antituberculosis (anti-TB) drugs to which the isolate is susceptible. Rifapentine is an antibiotic that inhibits DNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity in susceptible cells. Specifically, it interacts with bacterial RNA polymerase but does not inhibit the mammalian enzyme. And it acts via the inhibition of DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, leading to a suppression of RNA synthesis and cell death. It is bactericidal and has a very broad spectrum of activity against most gram-positive and gram-negative organisms (including Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and specifically Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Because of rapid emergence of resistant bacteria, use is restricted to treatment of mycobacterial infections and a few other indications. Rifampin is well absorbed when taken orally and is distributed widely in body tissues and fluids, including the CSF. It is metabolized in the liver and eliminated in bile and, to a much lesser extent, in urine, but dose adjustments are unnecessary with renal insufficiency. Rifapentine has shown higher bacteriostatic and bactericidal activities especially against intracellular bacteria growing in human monocyte-derived macrophages.

In Vivo Use Guide
Curator's Comment: PRIFTIN should be administered at a dose of 600 mg twice weekly for two months as directly observed therapy (DOT), with an interval of no less than 3 consecutive days (72 hours) between doses, in combination with other anti- tuberculosis drugs as part of an appropriate regimen which includes daily companion drugs such as isoniazid (INH), ethambutol (EMB) and pyrazinamide (PZA).
600 mg twice weekly for two months
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
In a comparison of in vitro properties of rifapentine (RIF), the minimal inhibitory concentration of RIF against Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Tween-albumin liquid medium was usually 0.02 micrograms/ml; the bactericidal activity against a log phase culture was slightly less than that of RMP and the recovery after pulsed exposures to 1 microgram/ml of RIF lasting 6, 24 and 96 h was identical for the two rifamycins.
