Rifampicin (INN) (pronounced /rɪˈfæmpəsɪn/) or rifampin (USAN) is a bactericidal[1] antibiotic drug of the rifamycin group. It is a semisynthetic compound derived from Amycolatopsis rifamycinica (formerly known as Amycolatopsis mediterranei and Streptomyces mediterranei). Rifampicin may be abbreviated RIF, RMP, RD, RA or R. It is also known as rifaldazine, R/AMP, and Rofact (in Canada.) There are various types of rifamycins from which this is derived, but this particular form, with a 4-methyl-1-piperazinaminyl group, is by far the most clinically effective.
