Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.

Mechanism of Action

Targets/IC50/Ki
MMP
In vitro
Doxycycline (50 μM) completely inhibits degradation of type II collagen, but not that of type I collagen in rheumatoid synovial fibroblasts and endothelial cells. Doxycycline (50 μM) down-regulated MMP-8 induction, at both the mRNA and protein levels in rheumatoid synovial fibroblasts and endothelial cells. Doxycycline not only inhibits MMP-8 and MMP-9 (gelatinase B) activity, but also the synthesis of MMPs in human endothelial cells. Doxycycline (50 μM) completely inhibits the phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA)-mediated induction of MMP-8 and MMP-9, as measured by Western blotting and gelatin zymography, respectively. Doxycycline inhibits the LPS-induced IL-1beta increase in the mRNA and protein amounts in the corneal epithelium and upregulates the expression of the anti-inflammatory IL-1 RA protein in human cultured corneal epithelium. Doxycycline reduces the steady state level of the cellular ICE protein but does not affect the level of ICE transcripts. Doxycycline significantly decreases IL-1beta bioactivity in the supernatants from LPS-treated corneal epithelial cultures.
In vivo
Doxycycline (25 mg/day) prevents the structural deterioration of aortic elastin without decreasing the influx of inflammatory cells in Wistar rats. Doxycycline (25 mg/day) markedly suppresses increased aortic wall production of 92 kD gelatinase in Wistar rats. Doxycycline reduces the activity of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 in the arterial wall, and inhibits smooth muscle cell migration from media to intima by 77% at 4 days after balloon injury in rats. Doxycycline reduces the replication of smooth muscle cells in the intima in rats.
