Brief Summary  

As an inhibitor of microglial activation, Minocycline has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiapoptotic properties, and can modulate glutamate-induced excitotoxicity and neuroprotective effects. These pathways have all been implicated in the causation of mood disorders. Other anti-inflammatory drugs such as Aspirin, Celecoxib, N-acetyl cystiene, Omega3 fatty acids and Pioglitazone has evidence of effectiveness in bipolar depression or mixed episopdes.

 Also Minocycline as an anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective drug have already shown improvement as an adjunctive treatment in schizophrenia, autism, bipolar depression, along with other neuropsychiatric conditions. Nevertheless, there is only one preclinical study showing effectiveness of Minocycline in bipolar mania and no clinical studies suggesting the same.

Therefore we want to use Minocycline as a new adjunctive treatment modality in bipolar mania due to its peculiar properties.
