Tetracyclines (TCs) were first introduced in 1948 as broad spectrum antibiotics and have gained wide therapeutic use since that time.'TCs have been used in dentistry, particularly as adjuncts to periodontal therapy, an approach based on three perceived advantages:(1) their effectiveness in suppressing Gram-negative anaerobic periodontopathogenic organisms in the subgingival plaq~ e;~,~(2) their ability to concentrate in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) at levels substantially greater than in ser~ m;~.~ and (3) their ability to bind to the tooth surface and then be slowly released in an active form, a property which prolongs therapeutic effectiveness. 6 In the early to mid-l980s, Golub and co-workers first made the key observation that TCs can also inhibit the activity of mammalian collagenase and that this inhibition was unrelated to the antimicrobial efficacy of these drugs. This latter finding was supported by the fact that the TC effect was seen in germ-free as well as conventional animals,'in uninfected tissues and in sterile in vitro~ ystems.~-lO Some analogs of TC (ie, chemically modified TC, CMT) were chemically modified to lose their antimicrobial activity, but still retained their ability to inhibit collagenase. s In their earlier clinical studies, Golub et al. found that regular doses of minocycline, doxycycline, or tetracycline administered to both nondiabetics and diabetics with adult periodontitis reduced the excessive collagenase activity in the GCF. 7, 9J0 During the same time period, Gomes et a/." showed that TCs also inhibited parathyroid hormone-induced bone resorption in organ culture; several years later, Rifkin et al. l2 demonstrated inhibition of bone resorption with nonantimicrobial chemically modified tetracycline. Therefore, TCs might be therapeutically useful in the management of diseases characterized by pathologic collagen breakdown. 13J4 That excessive collagenase activity might also be associated with bone resorption in periodontal disease led to investigations to determine whether TCs had an effect on bone cell metabolism. aThis work was supported by the National Institute of Dental Research grants R01DE-09576
