4′-O-substitutions determine selectivity of aminoglycoside antibiotics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Clinical use of 2-deoxystreptamine aminoglycoside antibiotics, which target the bacterial ribosome, is compromised by adverse effects related to limited drug selectivity. Here we present a series of 4',6'-O-acetal and 4'-O-ether modifications on glucopyranosyl ring I of aminoglycosides. Chemical modifications were guided by measuring interactions between the compounds synthesized and ribosomes harbouring single point mutations in the drug-binding site, resulting in aminoglycosides that interact poorly with the drug-binding pocket of eukaryotic mitochondrial or cytosolic ribosomes. Yet, these compounds largely retain their inhibitory activity for bacterial ribosomes and show antibacterial activity. Our data indicate that 4'-O-substituted aminoglycosides possess increased selectivity towards bacterial ribosomes and little activity for any of the human drug-binding pockets.

Conformational constraint as a means for understanding RNA-aminoglycoside specificity.
The lack of high RNA target selectivity displayed by aminoglycoside antibiotics results from both their electrostatically driven binding mode and their conformational adaptability. The inherent flexibility around their glycosidic bonds allows them to easily assume a variety of conformations, permitting them to structurally adapt to diverse RNA targets. This structural promiscuity results in the...

UNLABELLED The emerging epidemic of drug resistance places the development of efficacious and safe antibiotics in the spotlight of current research. Here, we report the design of next-generation aminoglycosides. Discovery efforts were driven by rational synthesis focusing on 4' alkylations of the aminoglycoside paromomycin, with the goal to alleviate the most severe and disabling side effect of...
متن کاملDeterminants of aminoglycoside-binding specificity for rRNA by using mass spectrometry.
We have developed methods for studying the interactions between small molecules and RNA and have applied them to characterize the binding of three classes of aminoglycoside antibiotics to ribosomal RNA subdomains. High-resolution MS was used to quantitatively identify the noncovalent binding interactions between mixtures of aminoglycosides and multiple RNA targets simultaneously. Signal overlap...
متن کاملAminoglycoside antibiotics block voltage-dependent calcium channels in intact vertebrate nerve terminals
Intrinsic and extrinsic optical signals recorded from the intact nerve terminals of vertebrate neurohypophyses were used to investigate the anatomical site and physiological mechanism of the antagonistic effects of aminoglycoside antibiotics on neurotransmission. Aminoglycoside antibiotics blocked the intrinsic light scattering signal closely associated with neurosecretion in the mouse neurohyp...
متن کاملUse of sodium polyanethol sulfonate to selectively inhibit aminoglycoside and polymyxin antibiotics in a rapid blood level antibiotic assay.
Sodium polyanethol sulfonate inhibits aminoglycoside and polymyxin classes of antibiotics in direct proportion to its concentration. Aminoglycoside and polymyxin class antibiotics are selectively inactivated; penicillin, including the semisynthetic penicillins, cephalothin, chloramphenicol, clindamycin, tetracycline, erythromycin, and vancomycin are not inhibited. By incorporating sodium polyan...
