Description

ChEBI: A tetracycline analogue having a dimethylamino group at position 7 and lacking the methyl and hydroxy groups at position 5.Minocycline belongs to the class of medications called tetracycline antibiotics, who has a broader spectrum than the other members of the group. Identified as a long-acting type, it is used to treat infections induced by certain kinds of bacteria. Minocycline is commonly used in the treatment of skin infections, such as inflammatory lesions of non-nodular moderate-to


Minocycline is a tetracycline analogue having a dimethylamino group at position 7 and lacking the methyl and hydroxy groups at position 5. It has a role as an antibacterial drug, an Escherichia coli metabolite and a geroprotector. It is a member of tetracyclines, a tetracenomycin and a tertiary alpha-hydroxy ketone. It is a conjugate acid of a minocycline(1-). It is a tautomer of a minocycline zwitterion.|Minocycline was first described in the literacture in 1966. It is a second generation tetracycline antibiotic that is active against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Like other semisynthetic tetracyclines, minocycline has modifications to carbons 7-9 on the D ring to generate higher efficacy than previous tetracyclines. Minocycline was granted FDA approval on 30 June 1971.|Minocycline is a Tetracycline-class Drug.|Minocycline is a tetracycline antibiotic with excellent absorption and tissue penetration that is used for several bacterial infections as well as treatment of acne. Minocycline can cause both an acute hepatitis-like syndrome occurring within 1 to 3 months of starting therapy or a more insidious chronic hepatitis with autoimmune features typically after long term treatment.|A TETRACYCLINE analog, having a 7-dimethylamino and lacking the 5 methyl and hydroxyl groups, which is effective against tetracycline-resistant STAPHYLOCOCCUS infections.

SRP: At the time of review, criteria for land treatment or burial (sanitary landfill) disposal practices are subject to significant revision. Prior to implementing land disposal of waste residue (including waste sludge), consult with environmental regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal practices.

Manufacturers, packers, and distributors of drug and drug products for human use are responsible for complying with the labeling, certification, and usage requirements as prescribed by the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended (secs 201-902, 52 Stat. 1040 et seq., as amended; 21 U.S.C. 321-392).

Toxicity

The oral LD50 in rats is 2380mg/kg and in mice is 3600mg/kg. The intraperitoneal LD50 in rats is 331mg/kg and in mice is 299mg/kg. The subcutaneous LD50 in rats is 1700mg/kg and in mice is 2290mg/kg. Patients experiencing an overdose may present with dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. In the event of an overdose, discontinue minocycline and treat patients with symptomatic and supportive measures.

Minocycline therapy is associated with two forms of clinically apparent liver injury, an acute hepatitis-like syndrome that arises within 1 to 3 months of starting therapy and a chronic hepatitis-like syndrome typically with autoimmune features that occurs with long term therapy, sometimes after several years of use. There is some overlap between these two presentations of minocycline hepatotoxicity, both are associated with a hepatocellular pattern of serum enzyme elevations and both can be associated with autoantibodies and immunological features.

Minocycline is a tetracycline antibiotic that binds to the bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit and interferes with protein synthesis. It is generally given 2-4 times daily, so the duration of action is short. Intravenous minocycline should not exceed 400mg in 24 hours. Patients should be counselled regarding the risks related to tooth and bone development, pseudomembranous colitis, central nervous system side effects, and pseudotumor cerebri.

Minocycline Use and Manufacturing

Uses

Minocycline is a semi-synthetic tetracycline prepared by sequential hydrogenolysis, nitration and reductive methylation. Minocycline, together with doxycycline, is regarded as a ‘third generation’ tetracycline largely replacing the natural products and pro-drugs produced in the early 1950s for mainstream antibiotic applications. Like all tetracyclines, minocycline shows broad spectrum antibacterial and antiprotozoan activity and acts by binding to the 30S and 50S ribosomal sub-units, blocking protein synthesis. Minocycline has been extensively cited in the literature with over 5,000 references.
