title: Disaccharide mimetics of the aminoglycoside antibiotic neamine.
abstract: A highly convergent approach has been employed for the facile synthesis of a library of 24 disaccharides that are alpha(1-3), beta(1-3), alpha(1-4), or beta(1-4) linked and contain 2-4 amino groups. Fourier-transformation ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) has been used to determine dissociation constant (Kd) values for the binding of the disaccharides to a prototypical fragment of 16S ribosomal RNA. Several derivatives bound with affinities similar to that of neamine. Structure-activity relationships have revealed the substitution pattern that is important for high-affinity binding. The compounds described here are unique lead compounds for the design of novel aminoglycoside antibiotics.
