The original Acros Organics product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

General Description

  • 4-Epioxytetracycline is a metabolite of the oxytetracycline compound that displays antibacterial activity
  • It is the main degradation product derived from the oxytetracycline metabolization and has been detected in some biological samples
  • Its mechanism of action has been described to be related to the mitochondrial protein synthesis inhibition

Applications

  • In laboratory research it has been described that the treatment with 4-epioxytetracycline decreases the bacterial diversity of the intestinal microbiota and facilitates the proliferation of opportunistic pathogens in salmon
  • The use of 4-epioxytetracycline in animal models (wistar rats) resulted in a significant alteration of the gut microbiota and disorders in blood metabolomics
  • 4-Epioxytetracycline can be applied as a secondary reference standard during stability studies of oxytetracycline
  • 4-epioxytetracycline has been used in research studies to evaluate the degradation pathway and products of tetracyclines
