brhrbrOxytetracycline interferes with bacterial protein synthesis. Following diffusion through the outer cell membrane, oxytetracycline is actively transported to the inner cytoplasmic membrane. It binds to receptors on the 30 S subunit of the bacterial ribosomes and interferes with the binding to the aminoacyl-transfer RNA in the messenger RNA ribosome complex. This blocks the addition of amino acids to the elongated peptide chain and inhibits protein synthesis. Only a small portion of the drug is irreversibly bound and it appears that the reversibly bound antibiotic is responsible for antibacterial action.
