Oxytetracycline Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt of Oxytetracycline, the second tetracycline antibiotic to be discovered. Oxytetracycline is a broad-spectrum tetracycline that was discovered near the Pfizer laboratories in a soil sample containing Streptomyces rimosus by Finlay et al., in 1950. Together with the chemist Robert B Woodward, they deciphered the chemical structure which allowed Pfizer to produce it commercially under the trade name Terramycin. Oxytetracycline can be used for studying the oxytetracycline-resistance gene (otrA).
Oxytetracycline Hydrochloride is soluble in water.
