Minocycline is a member of the tetracycline class of molecules with broad-spectrum antibiotic activity. The unique properties of minocycline result in increased tissue distribution when compared with the other tetracyclines. Of particular interest is the ability of minocycline to diffuse into the central nervous system at clinically effective levels. Aside from its antimicrobial properties, minocycline has been found to have beneficial effects on inflammation, microglial activation, matrix… CONTINUE READING
