Reactions

C9H23NO6P2 + C4H4O3 + C51C64N4O13 + C4H6BrClO → C60H79N5O23P2[1]

This reaction exhibits the creation of the molecule ryfamicin VIII. Ryfamicin is the original molecule of which rifalazil is the derivative. The purpose of this reaction is to use rifalazil to make a different derivative of the molecule so the substance can be delivered to osseous tissue in the body. This allows the medication to be released at different points in time to the rest of the body in through the blood stream as opposed to all at once.
