LymecyclineThis page contains recent news articles, when available, and an overview of Lymecycline but does not offer medical advice. You should contact your physician with regard to any health issues or concerns.Overview: Lymecycline (when available) Lymecycline is a tetracycline antibiotic that is commonly prescribed by medical doctors for infections and to treat acne. It may also be used to treat urinary tract infections, gum disease, and other bacterial infections such as gonorrhea and chlamydia. Lymecycline is also used commonly as a prophylactic treatment for infection by Bacillus anthracis (anthrax). It is also effective against Yersinia pestis and malaria and is also prescribed for the treatment of Lyme disease. Lymecycline inhibits cell growth by inhibiting translation. For the treatment of bacterial infection including: Brucellosis; Mycoplasma infection; Trachoma; Chronic bronchitis; Acne vulgaris; Chlamydial infection Mechanism Of Action: Lymecycline inhibits cell growth by inhibiting translation. It binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit and prevents the amino-acyl tRNA from binding to the A site of the ribosome. The binding is reversible in nature. Lymecycline is lipophilic and can easily pass through the cell membrane or passively diffuses through porin channels in the bacterial membrane. Cells become resistant to Lymecycline by at least two mechanisms: efflux and ribosomal protection. In efflux, a resistance gene encodes a membrane protein that actively pumps Lymecycline out of the cell. This is the mechanism of action of the tetracycline resistance gene on the artificial plasmid pBR322. In ribosomal protection, a resistance gene encodes a protein which binds to the ribosome and prevents Lymecycline from acting on the ribosome.
