Plazomicin sulfate
Synonyms: ACHN 490 sulfate
Plazomicin sulfate is a semi-synthetic aminoglycoside antibiotic that primarily targets bacterial ribosomes to disrupt protein synthesis. It functions as a substrate for aminoglycoside acetyltransferase and aminoglycoside phosphotransferase while remaining unmodified by several common aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes. Plazomicin sulfate exhibits selective inhibition of MATE2-K and demonstrates significant efficacy against multidrug-resistant bacteria, including carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales. This compound is valuable for research applications focusing on antibiotic resistance and the mechanisms of action of aminoglycosides.
