32385-11-8

Sisomicin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic produced by the bacterium Micromonospora inyoensis. Its structure is a glycoside with multiple sugar units. Sisomicin works by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit of bacteria, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis and leading to the death of the bacterial cell. It is used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections.
