Are isolated from Streptomyces cultures
They have a partially saturated naphthacene core (octahydronaphthacene)

General Properties
-
Amphoteric compounds. They form salts with acids and bases.

-Enolic hydroxyls in positions 3 and 12 acid,
dimethylamine basic - Amine group HCl salt water soluble
- Enolic hydroxyl NaOH and KOH salts water soluble, not stable
- They can not be stored in solution for long periods. A solution prepared in neutral will quickly lose 90% activity.

-Chelate complexes with two or three valent metals.
-The resulting chelates can not be absorbed from the GIT.
-Therefore, tetracyclines should not be taken with medicines (antacids) and foods (calcium-rich foods such as milk and products) that carry these metals.
Due to the chelate with calcium, it accumulates in the teeth and forms colored spots. It should not be used in children until 8 years old and pregnant.

- The C ring is opened in strong basic medium
- the -COOH group which is released is esterified with the -OH group at the 6-position → the inactive isotetracycline occurs
-OH at the 6th position interacts with acids and bases → to increase stability; semi-synthetic derivatives (Doxycycline, Minocycline) are prepared which carry no -OH moiety at this position.
-Demethylation at 6th position does not change activity
-CONH2 at the 2nd position is replaced by -CN, -COCH3 → activity is decreased.
-"H" in [-CONH2 replaced with various groups to increase water solubility
(Rolitetracycline, Limesiklin)]
-If Ring A is aromatized (12a-OH is removed), the activity is reduced.
-Octahidronaphthacene ring is absolutely necessary. Splitting or breaking any of the rings leads to loss of the activity.
