Product Information

• Name: Chlortetracycline-d6 hydrochloride
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: This is the deuterated form of chlortetracycline hydrochloride (CTC), an antibiotic that is used mainly to treat bacterial infections. Chlortetracycline hydrochloride is a tetracycline antibiotic composed of chlortetracycline, a β-lactam ring, and hydrochloride, a hydrogen chloride salt. It has two active forms: the ionized form and the free base form. The ionized form is responsible for its action on bacteria because it can easily cross the lipid bilayer membrane of Gram-positive bacteria. Chlortetracycline hydrochloride has additive effects with other antibiotics such as erythromycin and tetracyclines, which may lead to treatment efficiency in time-sensitive infections. Furthermore, it enhances microglial activation against pathogens, providing protection against intracellular pathogens implicated in neurodegenerative diseases.
