Bioactivity | Oxytetracycline calcium is an antibiotic belonging to the tetracycline class. Oxytetracycline calcium potently inhibits Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Oxytetracycline calcium is a protein synthesis inhibitor and prevents the binding from aminoacil-tRNA to the complex m-ribosomal RNA. Oxytetracycline calcium also possesses anti-HSV-1 activity[1][2][3]. |
Invitro | Oxytetracycline calcium is an important member of the bacterial aromatic polyketide family, which is a structurally diverse class of natural products. Oxytetracycline calcium is synthesized by a type II polyketide synthase that generates the poly-beta-ketone backbone through successive decarboxylative condensation of malonyl-CoA extender units, followed by modifications by cyclases, oxygenases, transferases, and additional tailoring enzymes[2]. |
