Product Description
Mechanism of Action
Doxycycline hydrochloride is a tetracycline‑class antibiotic that binds the 30S ribosomal subunit, preventing aminoacyl‑tRNA attachment and inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. Its lipophilicity confers broad tissue distribution and activity against intracellular bacteria.
Benefits and Advantages
Used in protein‑translation inhibition studies, intracellular pathogen modelling, MMP‑inhibition assays, and broad‑spectrum antimicrobial mechanism investigations.
Side Effects and Risks
Risks include photosensitivity, GI irritation, esophageal erosion, hepatotoxicity and interaction with calcium‑containing products. Handle with tetracycline‑compound precautions.
