Methacycline HCl(Cat No.:A000765)is a tetracycline antibiotic with broad-spectrum activity against a range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. As a semi-synthetic derivative, it inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, preventing amino acid addition and stalling bacterial growth. Methacycline HCl is effective in treating respiratory, urinary, and skin infections, as well as certain sexually transmitted infections. Its stability and efficacy make it suitable for oral administration. Methacycline HCl is valuable in clinical settings and research focused on bacterial resistance and antibiotic effectiveness.
