概览

Lymecycline is a tetracycline antibiotic used for the treatment of acne vulgaris and other susceptible infections.

作用机制

Normally, the ribosome synthesizes proteins through the binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the mRNA-ribosome complex. Lymecycline binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit, preventing amino-acyl tRNA from binding to the A site of the ribosome, which prevents the elongation of polypeptide chains. This results in bacteriostatic actions, treating various infections.

适应症

Lymecycline is used for the treatment of acne in addition to other susceptible infections; propionibacterium is often the cause of acne. Some of the infections that can be treated with lymecycline include upper respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, bronchitis, chlamydial infections, and rickettsial infections.
