Supplementary information

This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.

Amikacin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic with alternative names like amicasil and amikavet. It acts by binding irreversibly to the 30S ribosomal subunit which leads to the inhibition of protein synthesis in bacterial cells. The molecular weight of amikacin is about 585.6 daltons. This compound is widely utilized in the treatment of severe bacterial infections due to its effectiveness against gram-negative bacteria. In terms of expression amikacin is not expressed in a biological sense as it is a synthetic compound used as a pharmaceutical agent.
Biological function summary

The mechanism of action of amikacin disrupts the pathogenesis of bacteria by preventing proper protein assembly leading to bacterial death. It is not part of any biological complex but targets ribosomal structures within bacterial cells. Its interference with bacterial protein translation makes it an effective option against infections that other antibiotics may not address due to resistance.

Pathways

The bactericidal effect of amikacin does not fit into traditional human cellular pathways as it targets prokaryotic ribosomal subunits. However its role can indirectly affect human immune response pathways such as those activating phagocytes to clear the bacteria. In the context of bacterial resistance mechanisms proteins like aminoglycoside modifying enzymes may alter amikacin to neutralize its antibacterial activity.

Amikacin is mainly used to treat conditions such as severe systemic and urinary tract infections caused by susceptible strains including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. When resistance develops in bacterial pathogens related proteins like the aforementioned aminoglycoside modifying enzymes play a significant role in altering the drug's effectiveness leading to treatment challenges.
