Phototoxic effect of oxytetracycline on normal human melanocytes
Abstract
Oxytetracycline is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, used in dermatology and veterinary medicine. Like other tetracyclines, it may evoke skin phototoxic reactions related to generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Melanins are biopolymers synthesised in melanocytes - highly specialised cells, localised in the basal layer of epidermis. Production of melanin is a defence mechanism against harmful effects of UV radiation, ROS and many chemical...
