Rolitetracycline is a broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic used in cases needing high concentrations or when oral administration is impractical.
- Mechanism
- Curator reviewed
Rolitetracycline is a semisynthetic broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic used especially for parenteral administration in cases requiring high concentrations or when oral administration is impractical. Rolitetracycline passively diffuses through porin channels in the bacterial membrane and reversibly binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit, preventing binding of tRNA to the mRNA-ribosome complex, and thus interfering with protein synthesis.
