The currently available glycylcycline is tigecycline which is administered to children but not to infants. Tigecycline enters gram-negative bacteria by passive diffusion through channels formed by porins in the outer membrane and by active transport that pumps tigecycline across the cytoplasmic membrane. Tigecycline is more active against gram-positive than gram-negative organisms. Tigecycline is active against Streptococcus pneumoniae, methicillin-susceptible <... Read more

The aim of this study was to screen the antiamnesic activity of metformin (MET) on scopolamine (SCOP)-induced amnesia in mice. Experiments were carried out on 20 adult albino mice, divided into 4 groups, and the experimental animals were treated for 14 days with 10 mg/kg MET orally. To induce amnesia, 3 mg/kg SCOP was administered intraperitoneally. Cognitive skills of the animals were ... Read more
