Incyclinide

Incyclinide (proposed trade name Metastat) is a chemically modified tetracycline antibiotic that was investigated in clinical trials for the treatment of rosacea,[1] various tumours, allergic and inflammatory diseases and a number of other conditions.[2][3] The drug lacks antibiotic properties but retains or enhances the inhibition of metalloproteinase.[4]

Data from animal studies suggest that centrally infused incyclinide attenuates microglial mediated neuroinflammation in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus and sympathetic activation in AngII-induced hypertension. This was also associated with unique changes in gut microbial communities and profound attenuation of gut pathology in animal model of hypertension [5]

Mechanism of action

Like other tetracyclines, incyclinide inhibits matrix metalloproteinases.[4]
