Vectrin Chemical Information

minocycline hydrochloride - The hydrochloride salt form of minocycline, a broad-spectrum, semi-synthetic tetracycline antibiotic with antimicrobial properties. Minocycline hydrochloride exerts its bacteriostatic effect by binding to bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit and prevents binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to mRNA on the ribosomes during elongation step of protein translation. This leads to an inhibition of bacterial protein synthesis and consequently cell growth.
