Sisomicin was transformed to gentamicin C(2b) by Micromonospora rhodorangea NRRL 5326. The mechanisms involved in the biotransformation are the 6'-N-methylation and the (4'-5')-reduction. The progression of the methylation was followed by the isotope technique, but the reduction reaction was not monitored.

Influenza A viruses spread out worldwide, causing several global concerns. Hence, discovering neuraminidase inhibitors to prevent the influenza A virus is of great interest. In this work, a machine learning model was employed to evaluate the ligand-binding affinity of 10 000 compounds from the MedChemExpress (MCE) database for inhibiting neuraminidase.

Gentamicin C1a and the minor isomer C2b have been reported to have favorable properties in terms of antibacterial activity and toxicity compared to the commercial mixture from which they have previously been isolated by preparative high-performance liquid chromatography. We report straightforward syntheses of both compounds from readily available sisomicin by selective oxidation of the side chain in ring I, hydrogenation of the double bond in ring I to give the 5'-epi series, inversion of configuration at position 5' under thermodynamic conditions, and installation of the 6'-amino group by reductive amination.

Gentamicin is a potent broad-spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic whose use is hampered by ototoxic side-effects. Hospital gentamicin is a mixture of five gentamicin C-subtypes and several impurities of various ranges of nonexact concentrations. We developed a purification strategy enabling assaying of individual C-subtypes and impurities for ototoxicity and antimicrobial activity.

Two aminoglycosides, micronomicin (MN), and tobramycin (TB), binding with DNA were studied using various spectroscopic techniques including fluorescence, UV-Vis, FT-IR, and CD spectroscopy coupled with relative viscosity and molecular docking. Studies of fluorescence quenching and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy all revealed that MN/TB quenching the fluorescence of DNA-EB belonged to static quenching. The binding constants and binding sites were obtained.

Gentamicin C complex from remains a globally important antibiotic, and there is revived interest in the semisynthesis of analogs that might show improved therapeutic properties. The complex consists of five components differing in their methylation pattern at one or more sites in the molecule. We show here, using specific gene deletion and chemical complementation, that the gentamicin pathway up to the branch point is defined by the selectivity of the methyltransferases GenN, GenD1, and GenK.
