Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Minocycline (INN) is a broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic, and has a broader spectrum than the other members of the group. It is a bacteriostatic antibiotic, classified as a long-acting type. As a result of its long half-life it generally has serum levels 2–4 times that of the simple water-soluble tetracyclines (150 mg giving 16 times the activity levels compared with 250 mg of tetracycline at 24–48 hours). Minocycline is the most lipid-soluble of the tetracycline-class antibiotics, giving it the greatest penetration into the prostate and brain. Minocycline is not a naturally-occurring antibiotic, but was synthesized semi-synthetically from natural tetracycline antibiotics by Lederle Laboratories in 1966.

More Info
Biological target:
Minocycline hydrochloride is a broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic, acting by binding to the bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit and inhibiting protein synthesis.
In vitro activity:
The activity of caspases was detected during cytometric analysis with the use of caspase-specific fluorochrome-labelled inhibitors. The obtained results, presented in Figure 10, show the increased activity of all tested caspases in melanoma cells treated with minocycline for 24 h and 48 h. The activity growth, in almost all cases, was proportional to the time of incubation as well as to the concentration of the tested drug. Slightly different relationships were observed for caspase 9. A high increase in cells with active caspase 9, ca. 50%, was noticed for 100 µM of minocycline after 48 h as well as for 200 µM of the drug, regardless of the incubation time. After one-day treatment, minocycline in a concentration of 100 µM caused the activation of all caspases in ca. 20% of melanoma cells. The analysis of caspase 8 indicates that the use of a higher concentration of the drug is associated with an almost two-fold increase in the enzyme activity for both incubation times. In turn, the most significant rise of a number of cells with active executioner caspases 3/7 (ca. 52%) was noticed after 48 h treatment with 200 µM of minocycline.

In vivo activity:
Minocycline treatment significantly alleviated myocardial cell damage, accompanied by unbroken myocardial muscle fibers, ordered myocardial cells, reduced erythrocyte leakage and leukocyte infiltration, and no granular degeneration and lipoid degeneration. Rat cardiac function was evaluated via transthoracic echocardiography (Fig. 1c), and LVEF output was significantly lower in the I/R model group than in the sham control group, while rats treated with minocycline showed increased LVEF (61.05 ± 16.32% vs 86.00 ± 2.86%; P < 0.05). Furthermore, I/R injury resulted in significantly reduced LVFS compared to the sham control group, while treatment with minocycline improved LVFS (34.60 ± 11.91% vs 54.43 ± 5.42%; P < 0.01), although not to the level observed in the sham control group. These data suggested that minocycline plays a protective role following myocardial I/R infarction.
