Abstract
Antibiotics, which evolved as a chemical weapon of some bacteria against others, are primarily known for their microbicidal and/or bacteriostatic effects; however, they also have numerous pleiotropic effects: anti-amyloid, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-apoptotic. This review considers antibiotics with a translation-inhibiting mechanism of action, primarily tetracyclines, in the context of their non-antibiotic biological aspect, namely, the possibilities of supportive therapy for neurodegenerative diseases, as well as their antimitochondrial action and the mediated effect of aging cancellation.
