• Synonyms: O-3-Deoxy-4-C-methyl-3-(methylamino)-b-L-arabinopyranosyl-(1-6)-O-[2,6-diamino-2,3,4,6-tetradeoxy-a-D-erythro-hexopyranosyl-(1-4)]-2 -deoxy-D-streptamine pentaacetate saltGentamicin D acetateGentamycin C1a acetate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Gentamicin C1a pentaacetate is an aminoglycoside antibiotic derivative, which is synthesized through the acetylation of the hydroxyl groups in gentamicin C1a. This compound is derived from the fermentation products of Micromonospora species, a genus of actinobacteria. Its mode of action is similar to that of standard aminoglycosides, primarily involving the binding to bacterial 30S ribosomal subunits. This binding interferes with protein synthesis by causing misreading of mRNA, ultimately leading to the inhibition of protein production and bacterial cell death.
