  • Patent number: 11485751
    Abstract: The invention relates to derivatives of apramycin-based aminoglycoside antibacterial drugs modified in positions C5 and/or C6 and O5 and/or O6. The modifications impart favourable properties regarding increased selectivity and retention of activity in the presence of resistance determinants of the AAC(3) class. The invention further relates to said compounds for use in the therapy of bacterial infection by systemic administration, especially in instances where the infection is caused by a pathogen comprising a resistance determinant of the AAC(3) class, in particular AAC(3)-IV.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8895260
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for identifying ribosomal antimicrobial substances being selective for microbial but not for mitochondrial and/or cytosolic ribosomes. Specifically, said method is directed to an assay that compares the interaction of a candidate ribosomal antimicrobial substance (i) in a bacterial strain with microbial ribosomes, and (ii) in a bacterial strain with chimeric mitochondrial bacterial ribosomes, and/or (iii) in a bacterial strain with chimeric cytosolic bacterial ribosomes. In a further aspect the present invention also relates to the use of bacterial strains with microbial ribosomes, and bacterial strains with chimeric mitochondrial bacterial ribosomes, and/or bacterial strains with chimeric cytosolic bacterial ribosomes for identifying ribosomal antimicrobial substance being selective for microbial but not for mitochondrial and/or cytosolic ribosomes.
