Aminoglycosides redesign strategies for improved antibiotics and compounds for treatment of human genetic diseases.

Abstract excerpt

Aminoglycosides are highly potent, broad-spectrum antibiotics that kill bacteria by binding to the ribosomal decoding site and reducing the fidelity of protein synthesis. The emergence of bacterial strains resistant to these drugs, as well as their relative toxicity, have inspired extensive searches toward the goal of obtaining novel molecular designs with improved antibacterial activity and reduced toxicity. In...
