Treating periodontal diseases by blocking tissue-destructive enzymes.
A new therapeutic approach involves the discovery by the "Stony Brook group," that tetracyclines, but not other antibiotics, can inhibit host-derived collagen-destructive enzymes. This newly discovered property of tetracyclines is unrelated to the antimicrobial activity of these drugs. Examples support the hypothesis that this unexpected property of tetracyclines provides a new approach to treating periodontal diseases as well as a variety of medical disorders.
