Combinatorial synthesis of aminoglycoside libraries.
The interaction of aminoglycosides with RNA represents a paradigm in the use of small molecules as effectors of RNA function. Aminoglycosides bind and affect the function of a variety of therapeutically useful RNA targets and show antimicrobial as well as antiviral activities. However, due to the complex nature of aminoglycosides, efforts for synthesizing large libraries of these structures to screen against prospective biological targets have been limited. This review covers the recent advances in the generation of aminoglycoside libraries.
