  • Modified Tetracyclines for Treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder, Pain and Other Disorders Involving Potential Inflammatory Processes
    Publication number: 20260103439
    Abstract: The present invention includes novel molecules and methods for using the same to treat Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), Substance Use Disorder (SUD), tobacco use, pain, or proinflammatory disorders comprising: identifying a subject in need of treatment for at least one of AUD, SUD, pain, or a proinflammatory disorder; and providing the subject with an effective amount of a modified minocycline to ameliorate or eliminate the AUD, SUD, pain, or proinflammatory disorder and that has reduced, or no, antimicrobial activity, wherein the modified tetracycline has a formula, e.g., or the modified doxycycline, minocycline, and tigecycline and their tautomerized structures, where the R-groups shown in the minocycline example above could be different combination of halogen, acetyl ester, methyl ester, and diacetal.
