Tetracyclines are a class of antibiotics that work against a variety of infections
Due to
Doryx Mpc is less popular than comparable drugs
Tetracyclines which illustrate antibiotic activity have a dimethylamine group at C4 in the ring A, whose existence is necessary to show antibiotic properties
Doxycycline is a broad-spectrum antibiotic of the tetracycline class used in the treatment of infections caused by bacteria and certain parasites
Carbapenems, cephalosporins, monobactams, and penicillins are subclasses of beta-lactam antibiotics, a class of antibiotic characterized by Like other antibiotics, a common side effect of tetracyclines is gastrointestinal disturbances
A group of enzymes called tetracycline destructase selectively oxidize tetracyclines leading to covalent destruction of the antibiotic scaffold thus destroying antimicrobial activity permanently
This antibiotic treats only bacterial infections Photosensitivity due to tetracyclines may manifest as an exaggerated sunburn reaction
The tetracyclines enter the bacterial cell wall in two ways: passive diffusion and an energy-dependent active transport system, which is probably mediated in a pH-dependent fashion

In the third-generation tetracycline-class drugs, the addition of a lipophilic side group at the C9 position on the D ring enhances the antibiotic activity further, and all three are designed to overcome the two main tetracycline resistance mechanisms
Some people have also reported trouble swallowing, black hairy tongue, and inflammation of the intestines (enterocolitis)
Tetracyclines are usually taken by mouth and work by preventing bacteria from producing proteins they need to grow and multiply
It has a role as an antimicrobial agent, an antibacterial drug, an antiprotozoal drug, a protein synthesis inhibitor and
