Kanosamine (3-Amino-3-deoxyglucose) is an antibiotic that targets Saccharomyces cerevisiae and human pathogenic fungi such as Candida albicans. It exhibits antifungal activity by inhibiting cell wall synthesis and blocking the activity of GlcN-6-P synthase, with phosphorylated kanosamine-6-phosphate accumulating in the cytoplasm. This compound is valuable for research applications focused on fungal pathogens and mechanisms of antibiotic action.
