Description
Ribostamycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces ribosifidicus. It is a broad-spectrum antibiotic targeting gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Ribostamycin has been used to in pharmacokinetic studies and to study kidney toxicity. It is also an inhibitor of protein disulfide isomerase (PDI).
Aminoglycoside antibiotics are composed of amino groups attached to glycosides. They bind the 30s ribosomal subunit, causing misreading of the mRNA sequence and inhibition of translocation. Consequently, protein synthesis is inhibited.
