tetracyclines are broad spectrum antibiotics which are inexpensive and widely available and have an appropriate safety profile. in addition to antibiotical effects, tetracyclines can inhibit matrix metaloproteinase and collagenase, and subsequently reduce inflammation, angiogenesis, and neovascularization. they have partial neuro-protective, anti-apoptotic and antioxidant properties. given thes...

Antibiotics are widely used as growth promoters in animal husbandry; among them, the tetracyclines are a chemical group of relevance, due to their wide use in agriculture, surpassing in quantities applied almost every other antibiotic family. Seeing the considerable amounts of tetracyclines used worldwide, monitoring of these antibiotics is paramount. Advances must be made in the analysis of an...

The neuroprotective properties of tetracyclines have been clearly established in rodent models of acute and chronic neurodegeneration during the past few years. Recent findings have provided novel insights into the molecular and cellular mechanisms of protection of neurons and oligodendrocytes by tetracyclines. These advances have prompted several clinical trials with minocycline, the most effe...
