HIDE SMILES / InChI
Kanamycin A is aminoglycoside anti-bacterial agent. Active against many strains of Gram-negative bacteria and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and epidermis. Some strains of Mycobacterium bacterium are sensitive. Most active in alkaline solution. It binds to bacterial ribosomes and reduces mRNA translation hence reduces protein biosynthesis. However, it also exhibits some toxic effects towards mammalian cells.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: In adults, does not cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in therapeutically adequate concentrations. Small improvement in penetration with inflamed meninges. Higher levels are achieved in the CSF of newborns than in adults.

Rabbit reticulocyte ribosomes were used to investigate the activities of kanamycin A on higher eukaryotic ribosomes. The drug-mediated inhibition of protein synthesis by determining IC50 values in translation of luciferase mRNA was assessed. The IC50 for Kanamycin A is 126.85 uM. eukaryotic protein synthesis.
