Rifabutin (Mycobutin) is a semisynthetic ansamycin antibiotic with potent antimycobacterial properties. Rifabutin inhibits bacterial DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, thereby suppressing the initiation of RNA formation and leading to inhibition of RNA synthesis and transcription. [1, 2]

| Form | Solid |
| Solubility (25°C) | DMSO 50 mg/mL |
| Storage |

| Weight (kg) | 0.02 | 0.15 | 1.8 | 0.4 | 0.08 | 10 |
| Body Surface Area (m2) | 0.007 | 0.025 | 0.15 | 0.05 | 0.02 | 0.5 |
| Km factor | 3 | 6 | 12 | 8 | 5 | 20 |
| Animal A (mg/kg) = Animal B (mg/kg) multiplied by | Animal B Km |
| Animal A Km |
For example, to modify the dose of Compound A used for a mouse (20 mg/kg) to a dose based on the BSA for a rat, multiply 20 mg/kg by the Km factor for a mouse and then divide by the Km factor for a rat. This calculation results in a rat equivalent dose for Compound A of 10 mg/kg.

| TH-Z145
TH-Z145 is a lipophilic GGPPS inhibitor (GGPPS IC50 = 210 nM). TH-Z145 is a very lipophilic bisphosphonate that lacks the cationic center essential for FPPS inhibition and is thus a specific GGPPS inhibitor (FPPS IC50 >30 mM). TH-Z145 exhibited strong prophylactic effects in a pathogenic influenza model. |
| TH-Z93
TH-Z93, a lipophilic bisphosphonate, is an FPPS inhibitor (IC50 = 90 nM). TH-Z93 exhibits potent efficacy, increasing both antibody titers and avidity. TH-Z93 exhibited strong prophylactic effects in a pathogenic influenza model. |
