Oxytetracycline Hydrochloride

SKU: orb1306365

Description

Oxytetracycline hydrochloride is a broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic produced by Streptomyces rimosus. It inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by preventing aminoacyl-tRNA binding to the ribosomal acceptor site. This compound is widely used in in vitro microbiological studies and in vivo animal models of bacterial infection.

Bioactivity

• In Vivo:
  The 10-day effect of oxytetracycline at therapeutic doses (82.8 mg/kg bw to 1 % bw/day) was species-specific. Oxytetracycline increases the enzymatic activity of CYP3A4 in Ictalurus punctatus, increases the protein expression of CYP3A4 in Oreochromis niloticus, and depletes hepatic CYP3A4 in the latter, and also increases the relative liver weight of Morone chrysops x M. saxatilis . Oxytetracycline is limited to 100 μg/kg in muscle and breast milk, 200 μg/kg in eggs, 300 μg/kg in liver, and 600 μg/kg in kidney.
