In 1967 Martell and Booth have synthetized Minocin by modifying the tetracycline.
A clinical study has been conducted to determine the effectiveness of Minocin, following infusion of daily 200mg of the drug for 3 to 8 days in pelvic infections such as acute pelvic peritonitis, post-abortive infection, puerperal infection and postoperative prophylactic use of cervical cancer and relatively good results and obtained in clinical and Iaboratory study.
