BROAD SPECTRUM ANTIBIOTICS

TETRACYCLINES

CHLORAMPHENICOL

Tetra cyclines have four cyclic ring Produced by genus Streptomyces

Tetracycline divided into:

a) Naturally occurring:Tetracycline ChlortetracyclineOxytetracycline Demeclocycline

b) Semisynthetic occurring:Doxycycline MinocyclineMeclocycline LymecyclineMethacycline Rolitetracycline

CLASSIFICATION OF TETRACYCLINES

GROUP I : Chlortetracycline(6-10hr) Tetracycline

Oxytetracycline

GROUP II : Demeclocycline(12-13hr) Methacycline

GROUP III : Doxycycline(18-20hrs) Minocycline

Mechanism of Action BACTERIOSTATIC

1. Drug enter by : Active Transport (+Ve)

Porin channels (-Ve)

Enter into periplasmic place Protein Carrier system

Inner cytoplasmic membrane

Binds to 30s ribosome

Inhibits attach of aminoacyl t RNA to “A”site

Inhibition of protein synthesis
