Plazomicin Sulfate molecular structure

Plazomicin Sulfate

Also known as: Zemdri

CAS Number: 1380078-95-4

Aminoglycoside Antibacterial (Reserve)

Mechanism of Action

Plazomicin binds the 30S ribosomal subunit, inducing mRNA misreading and blocking translocation to produce rapid concentration-dependent bactericidal killing. Its hydroxy-aminobutyric acid substituent at N1 and hydroxyethyl group at 6-prime sterically block almost all clinically important aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes. It therefore retains activity against many carbapenem-resistant and ESBL-producing Enterobacterales, though it is defeated by 16S rRNA methyltransferases.
