Application: | Tetracycline hydrochloride BP Reference standard, intended for use in laboratory tests only as specifically prescribed in the British Pharmacopoeia. Also used in monographs such as: • Chlortetracycline Eye Ointment • Chlortetracycline Veterinary Oral Powder • Chlortetracycline Tablets • Chlortetracycline Ointment • Doxycycline Tablets • Doxycycline Prolonged-Release Capsules • Doxycycline Dispersible Tablets • Doxycycline Capsules • Tetracycline Tablets • Tetracycline Capsules |
Biochem/physiol Actions: | Mode of Action: Tetracycline passively diffuses through proin channels in the cell membrane, binding to 30S ribosomes and inhibits protein synthesis by preventing access of aminoacyl tRNA to the acceptor site on the mRNA-ribosome complex. It also binds to the bacterial 50S ribosomal subunit, altering the membrane and causing intracellular components to leak from bacterial cells. The inhibitory effects can be reversed by washing, suggesting that it is the reversibly bound antibiotic, and not the irreversibly bound drug, that is responsible for antibacterial action. Mode of Resistance: The effects are inactivated via a loss of cell wall permeability. Antimicrobial spectrum: Includes a wide range of antimicrobial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. |
