Tetracycline, sold under various brand names, is an antibiotic in the tetracyclines family of medications, used to treat a number of infections, including acne, cholera, brucellosis, plague, malaria, and syphilis. It is available in oral and topical formulations. Common side effects include vomiting, diarrhea, rash, and loss of appetite. Other side effects include poor tooth development if used by children less than eight years of age, kidney problems, and sunburning easily. Use during pregnancy may harm the baby. It works by inhibiting protein synthesis in bacteria. Tetracycline was patented in 1953 and was approved for prescription use in 1954. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. Tetracycline is available as a generic medication. Tetracycline was originally made from bacteria of the genus Streptomyces.

General Comment
2011-03-17 The active enantiomer of tetrahydrobiopterin, sapropterin is a natural co-factor of the three aromatic amino acid hydroxylase enzymes responsible for the conversion of phenylalanine to tyrosine, tyrosine to L-dopa, and tryptophan to 5-hydroxytryptophan. These conversions are particularly important in the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitters serotonin, melatonin, dopamine, noradrenaline and adrenaline. Sapropterin is also an essential cofactor in the biosynthesis of nitric oxide. It is used as its dihydrochloride for the diagnosis and treatment of variant forms of phenylketonuria (hyperphenylalaninaemia) associated with tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency.
