Description and Uses

Amikacin is made semisynthetically from kanamycin A. Interestingly, the L-hydroxyaminobutyryl amide (HABA) moiety attached to N-3 inhibits adenylation and phosphorylation in the distant amino sugar ring (at C-2′and C-3′), even though the HABA substituent is not where the enzymatic reaction takes place. This effect is attributed to decreased binding to the R factor–mediated enzymes.

Amikacin is a semi-synthetic derivative of kanamycin. It is much less sensitive to the enzymes that inactivate aminoglycoside antibiotics. The spectrum is similar to that of gentamicin. Amikacin principally finds use in the treatment of infections arising from bacteria that are resistant to gentamicin and/or tobramycin.
