sancycline

Sancycline is a semisynthetic tetracycline that inhibits protein translation by reversibly binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit and by blocking the entry of aminoacyl-tRNA into the ribosomal A site.

Sancycline is a semi-synthetic tetracycline antibiotic that is more active than tetracycline against 339 strains of anaerobic bacteria (MIC90s = 1 and 32 μg/ml, respectively).

epi-Sancycline (hydrochloride) is a type of biochemical reagent utilized in glycobiology research. Glycobiology involves the study of the structure, synthesis, biology, and evolution of carbohydrates. It encompasses carbohydrate chemistry, the enzymology of glycan formation and degradation, protein-glycan recognition, and the role of glycans in biological systems. This field is closely linked with fundamental research, biomedicine, and biotechnology.
