General description

Chemical structure: tetracycline

Biochem/physiol Actions

Mode of Action: Tetracycline passively diffuses through proin channels in the cell membrane, binding to 30S ribosomes and inhibits protein synthesis by preventing access of aminoacyl tRNA to the acceptor site on the mRNA-ribosome complex. It also binds to the bacterial 50S ribosomal subunit, altering the membrane and causing intracellular components to leak from bacterial cells. The inhibitory effects can be reversed by washing, suggesting that it is the reversibly bound antibiotic, and not the irreversibly bound drug, that is responsible for antibacterial action.

Mode of Resistance: The effects are inactivated via a loss of cell wall permeability.

Antimicrobial spectrum: Includes a wide range of antimicrobial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

A series of simplified thiomarinol derivatives was prepared by way of catalytic enantioselective inverse electron demand hetero [4+2] cycloaddition/allylboration tandem reaction. As a preliminary evaluation, these analogs were tested for antimicrobial activity using a standard disk diffusion assay. Whereas amide
