Product Description
Mechanism of Action
Demecyclocycline is a tetracyclineclass antibiotic that binds the 30S ribosomal subunit, blocking aminoacyltRNA attachment and thereby inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. It also inhibits antidiuretic hormone (ADH) signalling in renal collecting ducts, making it useful in SIADH research.
Benefits and Advantages
Used in bacterial ribosomeinhibition studies, SIADH modelling, tetracyclineSAR research, microbial susceptibility assays and proteintranslation pathway investigations.
Side Effects and Risks
Risks include photosensitivity, nephrotoxicity, enamel discoloration, GI irritation and hepatotoxicity. Handle with tetracyclineclass antibiotic precautions.
Only GMP materials will be supplied, logistics all according to GDP.
