- Product Overview:
Demeclocycline is a broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic produced by S. aureofaciens.{40080} It has antimicrobial activity against ~3,200 pathogenic Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria in vitro that is 2-fold greater than that of tetracycline (Item No. 14328). The bactericidal action of demeclocycline is comparable to that of chlortetracycline but the duration of action is longer due to its resistance to degradation by acids or alkalis. It is effective against S. pyogenes and K. pneumoniae infections in vivo when administered orally or subcutaneously in mice. Demeclocycline decreases aquaporin 2 (AQP2) water channel gene transcription and protein abundance in mpkCCD murine collecting duct cells in a dose-dependent manner.{40081} It also increases urine volume, decreases urine osmolity, and increases fractional excretion of water in a rat model of hyponatremia. Formulations containing demeclocycline have been used to treat hyponatremia due to syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) and as endodontic antibiotics to prevent infection following root canal procedures.{40082,40083}
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
