Sarecycline hydrochloride (Seysara) is a novel, narrow-spectrum tetracycline derivative approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in October 2018 for the treatment of inflammatory non-nodular moderate to severe acne vulgaris. It was initially developed by Paratek Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (U.S.) and Allergan plc (U.S.), which later was acquired by Almirall S.A. (Barcelona, Spain). Almirall S.A. obtained U.S. FDA approval of oral sarecycline tablets under the trade name Seysara. Sarecycline exhibits antibacterial activity against important skin/soft tissue pathogens with targeted activity against Cutibacterium acnes--an anaerobic Gram-positive bacterium linked with acne lesions--and also exerts anti-inflammatory effects as do other tetracyclines used in the treatment of acne vulgaris. Interestingly, unlike the broad-spectrum tetracyclines, sarecycline is less potent against aerobic Gram-negative bacilli and anaerobic bacteria associated with endogenous intestinal microbial flora. This provides it with a more specific antibacterial spectra with lower chances of adverse off-target antibacterial effects, thus making it a promising choice of treatment over others in its class. It has also demonstrated low propensity to resistance as compared with other tetracyclines and is also active against tetracycline-resistant Staphylococcus aureus as well as erythromycin- and clindamycin-resistant C. acnes strains. Sarecycline has successfully undergone numerous phase I, phase II and three phase III studies establishing it as a well-tolerated once-daily oral drug available as a tablet for the treatment of patients 9 years of age or above.
