Methacycline is a tetracycline antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis. Methacycline is a potent inhibitor of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Methacycline blocks EMT in vitro and inhibits fibrogenesis in vivo without directly affecting TGF-beta1 Smad signaling. Methacycline is an antimicrobial agent with potential for use in pulmonary fibrosis research[1].
