Warnings and precautions
All tetracyclines have the tetracyclic structure in common and they are all amphoteric in nature. Tetracyclines are compounds predisposed to give crystalline salts with strong acids and bases (this is precisely due to their amphoteric character); Tetracyclines have a complicated chromophore system that gives rise to absorption spectra characteristic of this class of antibiotics, which extend to the visible and give the characteristic yellow color. All tetracyclines are capable of chelating metal ions resulting in chelates, which are insoluble in water and appear to have an appreciable role in the mechanism of action of these antibiotics. Given their amphoteric character, tetracyclines are poorly soluble in water, while their hydrochlorides have a remarkable solubility in water.
Another important characteristic of tetracyclines is that they darken in light and break down in the presence of moisture and in an acidic environment to form anhydrous derivatives, which lack antibiotic power and are more toxic than the initial antibiotics, this is probably due to the ability to interact in some way. nonspecific with cell membranes.
Side effects also include:
Gastrointestinal: anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, glossitis, dysphagia, enterocolitis, and inflammatory lesions (with monilia overgrowth) in the anogenital region. These reactions have been produced by both oral and parenteral administration of tetracyclines.
