Doxycycline is a broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic.It inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to ribosomes. Doxycycline also selectively inhibits human matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) and MMP-13 over MMP-1 with 50, 60, and 5% inhibition, respectively, when used at a concentration of 30 μM. It can be used as a regulator for inducible gene expression systems where expression depends on either the presence (Tet-On) or absence (Tet-Off) of doxycycline.Formulations containing doxycycline have been used in the treatment of bacterial infections and the prevention of malaria.

A commonly-used broad-spectrum antibiotic. A potent inhibitor of MMP-8 (neutrophil collagenase; IC₅₀ = 30 µM) relative to MMP-1 (interstitial collagenase; IC₅₀ = 300 µM). Also inhibits collagen synthesis by bovine articular chondrocytes cultured in alginate (IC₅₀ = 25 µM). Inhibits nitric oxide synthesis by LPS-activated macrophages without affecting IL-10 release.
