MinocyclineThis page contains recent news articles, when available, and an overview of Minocycline but does not offer medical advice. You should contact your physician with regard to any health issues or concerns.Overview: Minocycline (when available) Minocycline, the most lipid soluble and most active tetracycline antibiotic, is, like doxycycline, a long-acting tetracycline. Minocycline's effects are related to the inhibition of protein synthesis. Minocycline is used to treat nongonococcal urethritis, mucopurulent cervicitis, acne vulgaris, and rheumatoid arthritis and some othet infections. Because of its lipid solubility, minocycline is able to eradicate the meningococcal carrier state in tears and saliva. For the treatment of infections caused by susceptible strains of microorganisms, such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever, typhus fever and the typhus group, Q fever, rickettsialpox and tick fevers caused by Rickettsiae, Upper respiratory tract infections caused by Streptococcus pneumoniee; For the treatment of asymptomatic carriers of Neisseria meningitidis Mechanism Of Action: Minocycline passes directly through the lipid bilayer or passively diffuses through porin channels in the bacterial membrane. Tetracyclines like minocycline bind to the 30 S ribosomal subunit, preventing the binding of tRNA to the mRNA-ribosome complex and interfering with protein synthesis.

Since bacteriostatic drugs may interfere with the bactericidal action of penicillin, it is advisable to avoid giving tetracycline-class drugs in conjunction with penicillin. Absorption of tetracyclines is impaired by antacids containing aluminum, calcium or magnesium, and iron-containing preparations. The concurrent use of tetracycline and methoxyflurane has been reported to result in fatal renal toxicity. Concurrent use of tetracyclines with oral contraceptives may render oral contraceptives less effective.
