Development of 6′-<i>N</i>-Acylated Isepamicin Analogs with Improved Antibacterial Activity Against Isepamicin-Resistant Pathogens

The development of new aminoglycoside (AG) antibiotics has been required to overcome the resistance mechanism of AG-modifying enzymes (AMEs) of AG-resistant pathogens. The AG acetyltransferase, AAC(6′)-APH(2″), one of the most typical AMEs, exhibiting substrate promiscuity towards a variety of AGs a...

The AG acetyltransferase, AAC(6′)-APH(2″), one of the most typical AMEs, exhibiting substrate promiscuity towards a variety of AGs and acyl-CoAs, was employed to enzymatically synthesize new 6′-<i>N</i>-acylated isepamicin (ISP) analogs, 6′-<i>N</i>-acetyl/-propionyl/-malonyl ISPs.
