General description

Tigecycline is used to treat complicated skin and skin structure infections (cSSSI) and complicated intraabdominal infections.

Application

TIGECYCLINE HYDRATE has been used:
  • for antibiotic susceptibility testing
  • to study its effects on multiple nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines
  • to evaluate its effects on the binding of fluoroquinolones to human serum albumin
  • as a standard to investigate the penetration of tigecycline into cornea, aqueous humor and vitreous humor

Biochem/physiol Actions

Tigecycline is a broad spectrum glycylcycline antibiotic. Tigecycline is bacteriostatic, that inhibits protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit of bacteria and thereby blocking entry of Aminoacyl-tRNA into the A site of the ribosome during prokaryotic translation. Tigecycline is active against resistant strains of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, avoiding the two most common mechanisms of resistance to the tetracycline antimicrobials: tetracycline efflux pump proteins and ribosomal protection proteins.

Tetracyclines continue to be important antimicrobials in veterinary medicine. However, the pharmacokinetics (PK) of tigecycline (TIG) and minocycline (MIN) in broiler chickens has not been investigated to date, and the PK of chlortetracycline (CTC) and tetracycline (TET) remains insufficiently researched
