• Description: 4-Epitetracycline hydrochloride is a tetracycline antibiotic derivative, which is a secondary metabolite derived from bacterial sources, particularly Streptomyces species. It functions primarily by inhibiting protein synthesis in bacteria through binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, preventing the attachment of aminoacyl-tRNA to the RNA-ribosome complex. This action hinders bacterial growth by interfering with vital processes necessary for bacterial survival and replication.
