Development of Fungal Selective Amphiphilic Kanamycin: Cost-Effective Synthesis and Use of Fluorescent Analogs for Mode of Action Investigation. | LitMetric

Amphiphilic aminoglycosides have attracted interest due to their novel antifungal activities. A crucial but often neglected factor for drug development in academia is cost of production. Herein is reported a one-step, inexpensive synthesis of amphiphilic alkyl kanamycins constituted with only natural components. The synthetic methodology also enabled the preparation of a series fluorescent amphiphilic aryl kanamycins for direct structure-activity mode of action studies. The lead compounds showed prominent antifungal activities against a panel of fungi, including Fusarium graminearum, Cryptococcus neoformans, and several Candida sp., and also significant antibacterial activities. With fluorescence-based whole cell assays, the aryl amphiphilic kanamycins were observed to permeabilize fungal surface membranes at faster rates than bacterial surface membranes. Also, the antifungal action of the amphiphilic kanamycins was observed to occur in a biphasic mode with an initial fast phase correlated with rapid membrane permeabilization at subminimal inhibitory concentrations and a slower phase membrane permeabilization that elevates the reactive oxygen species production leading to cell death. Inactive hydrophobic amphiphilic kanamycins displayed no membrane permeabilization. The results offer cost-effective methods for producing amphiphilic kanamycins and reveal insights into how nonfungal specific amphiphilic kanamycins can be employed for fungal specific diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
