DOXYCYCLINE HYDROCHLORIDE Doxycycline HCL

Doxycycline shows excellent effectiveness and time-dependent characteristics against M. gallisepticum strain S6 in vitro[2]. Osteoblasts exposed to the composite containing 25 μg/mL doxycycline (DOX)/β-cyclodextrin (βCD) has increased cell proliferation (p < 0.05) compared to control osteoblast cultures at all experimental time points, reaching a maximum in the second week. Alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity and collagen secretion levels are also elevated in osteoblasts exposed to the DOX/βCD composite (p < 0.05 vs. controls) and reach a maximum after 14 days[3]. Doxycycline (20 nM) inhibits ECM (extracellular matrix) production and remodeling in both SMC (smooth muscle cell) types of cultures, and synthesis of collagens and isoprenylated proteins in SMC-Ch (a cholesterol-rich diet) is a higher than in SMC-C (a standard diet)
