Minocycline is a bacteriostatic antibioticum with activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Minocycline has a spectrum of activity the same as tetracycline but witha better microbial activity against many species. Within the cell minocycline binds reversible to the 30S subunit of the ribosome; preventing the binding of aminoacyl transfer RNA and inhibiting protein synthesis and hence cell growth.
