Market Need
In a hospital setting, aminoglycosides are often used to treat serious infections as they are a broad-spectrum group of highly potent antibiotics. Similar to many other antibiotics, increased bacterial resistance to aminoglycoside has developed with continued use. Among the different bacterial mechanisms of resistance that have developed against aminoglycosides, one of the most clinically relevant is the expression of N-6鈥�-acetyltransferase enzymes (AAC(6鈥�)s).

Technology Summary
With this invention, the novel prodrug would be administered along with aminoglycosides to inhibit the spread of bacterial resistance to antibiotics in both Gram+ and Gram- bacteria. In particular, this compound is able to block the development of resistance to aminoglycosides by the enzyme AAC(6鈥�)s. Along with an important inhibitory function, the drug also possesses a low cell cytotoxicity and good stability. Moreover, because of their activity against Gram-negative bacteria, the proposed drugs would fill one of the most important unmet needs in infectious disease treatments.
