Pharmacophore of this group	Sancycline
Most widely used, cheap antibiotic Drug of Choice for ACNE Its blood level after oral administration is irregular; due to inactivation by acidic medium in stomach or basic medium in intestine	Tetracycline
Isolated from Streptomyces aureofaciens Its used as orally as capsules to avoid bitter taste & may be administered parenterally (IV) 7-chloro is e-withdrawing group that increase activity	Chlorotetracycline
Produced by fermentation of mutant strain of Streptomyces aureofaciens It lacks 6-methyl of tetracycline -> present as secondary alcohol -> more stable	Demeclocycline
Produced by fermentation of Streptomyces rimosis The MOST HYDROPHILIC tetracycline	Oxytetracycline (Terramycin)
Produced by chemical modification of Oxytetracycline Removal of 6-OH -> more stability against acids & bases -> longer serum half life The chemical precursor for Doxycycline	Methacycline

Minocycline semi-synthesis is from __	Demeclocycline by catalytic reaction and reductive methylation
Formed by condensation of Tetracycline + Pyrrolidine + Formaldehyde in the presence of t-butyl alcohol (MANNICH REACTION) PRODRUG for tetracycline Highly water soluble & suitable for oral and parenteral administration Activated by spontaneous decomposition NOT by action of amidase	Rolitetracycline
