Chemical type
- Aminoglycoside antibiotic
[1]
- Aminoglycoside antibiotic
[2]
Key properties
- Molecular weight: 581.6 g/mol
- Binds 30S ribosomal subunit
- Causes misreading of mRNA
- Additive/synergistic interaction with Terpineol (TER)
[1]
- Targets bacterial ribosomal subunits
- Known to bind to human rRNA and mitochondrial proteins of bacterial origin
- Induces mitochondrial stress, leading to alterations in metabolic pathways
- Documented off-target effects in eukaryotic cells (e.g., dysregulation of protein synthesis)
[2]
