Chlortetracycline (trade name Aureomycin, Lederle) is a tetracycline antibiotic, the first tetracycline to be identified. It was discovered in 1945 by Benjamin Minge Duggar working at Lederle Laboratories under the supervision of Yellapragada Subbarow. Duggar identified the antibiotic as the product of an actinomycete he cultured from a soil sample collected from Sanborn Field at the University of Missouri. The organism was named Streptomyces aureofaciens and the isolated drug, Aureomycin, because of their golden color. Chlortetracycline inhibits cell growth by inhibiting translation. It binds to the 16S part of the 30S ribosomal subunit and prevents the amino-acyl tRNA from binding to the A site of the ribosome. In veterinary medicine, chlortetracycline is commonly used to treat conjunctivitis in cats.

Bibrocathol (trade names Noviform and Posiformin) is a well-established topical antiseptic for the treatment of acute eyelid diseases like blepharitis. Eye ointments containing 2 or 5 % bibrocathol and the excipients liquid paraffin, white soft paraffin, and lanolin have been marketed since 1967 for the treatment of eye irritation, chronic blepharitis, and uninfected corneal injuries. Reports of clinical experience with bibrocathol for inflammation of the edge of the palpebra exist since the beginning of the 20th century. Until recently, no controlled, randomized clinical studies according to the guidelines for Good Clinical Practice for Trials on Medical Products for Human Use (GCP) as defined by the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) have been performed with bibrocathol 2 % ointment, as these were not required for marketing authorization in the 1960s. A first double-blind, prospective, controlled, GCP-compliant clinical study was recently performed to assess the efficacy of bibrocathol 5 % (Noviform®) in acute blepharitis. It demonstrated superior efficacy of bibrocathol 5 % ointment as compared to an ointment vehicle (placebo) after 2 weeks of treatment as assessed by a combined measure of slit-lamp examination results and patients’ subjective complaints.

Cetocycline (formerly chelocardin or cetotetrine) is tetracycline derivative with potent antibacterial activity against a number of Gram-positive and Gram-negative multi-resistant pathogens. Cetocycline was found to be more active than tetracycline against many clinical isolates of aerobic gram-negative bacilli, but is less active against staphylococci, and has no activity against Pseudomonas. At low concentrations, like classical tetracyclines, chelocardin induces the proteomic signature for peptidyl transferase inhibition demonstrating that protein biosynthesis inhibition is the dominant physiological challenge. At higher concentrations B. subtilis mainly responds to membrane stress indicating that at clinically relevant concentrations the membrane is the main antibiotic target of chelocardin.

Grepafloxacin is a monofluorinated quinolone with a cyclopropyl group at position 1, a 3-methyl-1piperazinyl group at position 7 and a methyl substitution at the 5 position, that was synthesized by Otsuka in Japan. It exhibited in vitro activity against a wide variety of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria including anaerobic species. The compound was reported to have a broad spectrum of activity, particularly against pathogens responsible for community-acquired respiratory infections including those caused by beta-lactam and macrolide-resistant strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae. Japanese researchers also reported that unlike other quinolones, grepafloxacin reached high levels in the bile and might also be useful in the treatment of biliary tract infection. Grepafloxacin was administered once daily and did not require dosage adjustment for renal insufficiency, but grepafloxacin tablets were contraindicated in patients with hepatic failure. Otsuka Pharmaceutical signed a licensing agreement for grepafloxacin with GlaxoSmithKline. According to this agreement, GlaxoSmithKline had marketing rights to grepafloxacin in Europe, USA, and certain other markets. Otsuka retained rights for Japan and some Asian countries

Alatrofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic developed as a mesylate salt and was sold under brand name Trovan, but was withdrawn from the U.S. market in 2001. Trovan was indicated for the treatment of patients initiating therapy in in-patient health care facilities (i.e., hospitals and long term nursing care facilities) with serious, life- or limb-threatening infections caused by susceptible strains of the designated microorganisms in the conditions listed below. Nosocomial pneumonia caused by Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Haemophilus influenzae, or Staphylococcus aureus. Community acquired pneumonia caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus. Complicated intra-abdominal infections, including post-surgical infections caused by Escherichia coli. Gynecologic and pelvic infections including endomyometritis, parametritis, septic abortion and post-partum infections caused by Escherichia coli, Bacteroides fragilis, viridans group streptococci, Enterococcus faecalis. Complicated skin and skin structure infections, including diabetic foot infections, caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus agalactiae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, or Proteus mirabilis. After intravenous administration, alatrofloxacin is rapidly converted to trovafloxacin, which is responsible for therapeutic effect. Plasma concentrations of alatrofloxacin are below quantifiable levels within 5 to 10 minutes of completion of a 1 hour infusion.

Meclocycline is a tetracycline antibiotic. It is used topically for skin infections treatment. Tetracyclines are broad-spectrum bacteriostatic agents and act by inhibiting protein synthesis by blocking the binding of aminoacyl tRNA (transfer RNA) to the mRNA (messenger RNA) ribosome complex. Meclocycline might increase sensitivity to light when it is used with Aminolevulinic acid.

Methacycline is a tetracycline antibiotic. Similar to other tetracyclines, it has a wide spectrum of antimicrobial action. It is active against most Gram-positive bacteria (pneumococci, streptococci, staphylococci) and Gram-negative bacteria (E. coli, salmonella, shigella, etc.), and towards agents causing onithosis, psittacosis, trachoma, and some Protozoa. Like other tetracyclines, the general usefulness of methacycline has been reduced with the onset of bacterial resistance. Methacycline inhibits the binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the mRNA-ribosome complex. Methacycline inhibits cell growth by inhibiting translation. It binds to the 16S part of the 30S ribosomal subunit and prevents the amino-acyl tRNA from binding to the A site of the ribosome. Methacycline is mostly used for the treatment of acute bacterial exacerbations of chronic bronchitis.

Novobiocin (also known as streptonivicin) is an aminocoumarin antibiotic, active against Staphylococcus epidermidis. Novobiocin and other aminocoumarin antibiotics act as a potent competitive inhibitor of DNA gyrase B. The oral form of the drug was withdrawn from the market in 1999 due to safety or effectiveness reasons. Later it was discovered that novobiocin inhibited Hsp90 and topoisomerase II, and novobiocin was investigated in clinical trials against metastatic breast cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. Topical form of novobiocin was investigated in combination with nalidixic acid for treatment of psoriasis.
