Achromycin Chemical Information

tetracycline hydrochloride - The hydrochloride salt form of tetracycline, a broad-spectrum naphthacene antibiotic, produced semisynthetically from chlortetracycline, an antibiotic isolated from the Streptomyces aureofaciens. In bacteria, tetracycline hydrochloride blocks binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the mRNA-ribosome complex, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis and bacterial cell growth.
