(1) Evaluation of the in vitro activity of rokitamycin (RKM) against Chlamydia trachomatis in cycloheximide treated HeLa 229 cells and McCoy cells by comparing with five drugs including doxycycline (DOXY), minocycline (MINO), ofloxacin (OFLX), ampicillin (ABPC) and erythromycin (EM) with regard to assaying minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs), minimal lethal concentrations (MLCs), and by yield reduction assays: 1) direct treatment of Chlamydial organisms with various concentrations of antibiotics before inoculation, 2) pre-treatment of host cell (HeLa 229) with the antibiotics before they are infected and 3) treatment of already infected cultures (48 hrs after infection) with antibiotics.
(2) The following antibiotics were evaluated; ampicillin (ABPC), piperacillin (PIPC), cefotaxime (CTX), cefoperazone (CPZ), ceftizoxime (CZX), cefmenoxime (CMX), latamoxef (LMOX), tetracycline (TC), doxycycline (DOXY), minocycline (MINO), chloramphenicol (CP) and erythromycin (EM).

(4) In conclusion, DOXY was thought to be useful and safe drug in the treatment of nongonococcal urethritis by C. trachomatis.
(5) In vitro studies have indicated that levels of neutral metalloproteinases in osteoarthritic (OA) cartilage are elevated and that doxycycline (doxy) inhibits collagenolytic and gelatinolytic activity in extracts of OA cartilage.

(8) 3) After treatments with DOXY for cases of positive IgA titers in prostatic secretion, IgA titers of those cases were decreased and inflammations of prostate were cured.
(9) The purpose of the present study was to test the effect of oral doxy administration on the severity of cartilage degeneration in OA.
(10) It remains to be determined whether administration of doxy after OA changes have developed is also effective.
(11) The MIC90 of OFLX was equal to that of DOXY and 4- to 16-fold smaller than the values of the other 3 antibiotics.
(12) Doxycycline (DOXY) was administered to 45 male patients with nongonococcal urethritis.

(14) Prophylactic administration of doxy markedly reduced the severity of OA in weight-bearing regions of the medial femoral condyle.
(15) A comparison of the O2- yields from the tetracyclines examined showed the trend chlortetracycline (CTC) greater than oxytetracycline (OXY) greater than demeclocycline (DEM) much greater than (doxycycline (DOXY) = tetracycline (TC) = minocycline (MINO) = 0).
(16) Low concentrations of 16-DOXY L-Stearate dramatically broaden the 13C-NMR resonances of deoxycholate carbons 19, 18 and 7 in particular, while 5-DOXY L-Stearate exerts much less specific effects.
(17) C. trachomatis positive rate of male NGU after treatment of DOXY for 3 days, 7 days and 14 days, was 83%, 17% and 0%, respectively.
(18) Because of continuing fever, mefloquin (Lariam) and doxy-cycline (Vibramycin) were also administered.
(19) DOXY was given in an oral dose of 100 mg twice daily for 4 to 19 days.
(20) No side effect related to dosing of DOXY developed.
