Description of Doxycycline Hyclate
Doxycycline is a member of the tetracycline antibiotics group, and is commonly used to treat a variety of infections.Doxycycline hyclate is a yellow, hygroscopic crystalline powder, freely soluble in water and in methanol, sparingly soluble in ethanol (96 per cent), it dissolves in solutions of alkali hydroxides and carbonates.
Doxycycline Hyclate is the hyclate salt form of doxycycline, is a broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic. It inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to ribosomes. Doxycycline also selectively inhibits human matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) and MMP-13 over MMP-1 with 50, 60, and 5% inhibition, respectively, when used at a concentration of 30 μM. It can be used as a regulator for inducible gene expression systems where expression depends on either the presence (Tet-On) or absence (Tet-Off) of doxycycline. Formulations containing doxycycline have been used in the treatment of bacterial infections and the prevention of malaria.
Uses of Doxycycline hyclate
Doxycycline hyclate is a member of the tetracycline antibiotics group, and is commonly used to treat a variety of infections. It is used in the treatment of chlamydia, rickettsia, mycoplasma and some spirochete infections. It is also used to inhibit matrix metalloproteinases at subantimicrobial doses. Inhibits matrix metalloproteinases at subantimicrobial doses.
Doxycycline hyclate is a synthetic oxytetracycline derivative. It has been used to eliminate Borrelia burgdorferi and Anaplasma phagocytophilum in rodent reservoirs and to eliminate Ixodes scapularis ticks. It is a broad spectrum inhibitor used to inhibit matrix metalloproteinases(MMP), such as type 1 collagenase in studies on wound healing and tissue remodeling.
