As the threat associated with fungal infections continues to rise and the availability of antifungal drugs remains a concern, it becomes obvious that the need to bolster the antifungal armamentarium is urgent. Building from our previous findings of tobramycin (TOB) derivatives with antifungal activity, we further investigate the effects of various linkers on the biological activity of these aminoglycosides. Herein, we analyze how thioether, sulfone, triazole, amide, and ether functionalities affect the antifungal activity of alkylated TOB derivatives against 22 Candida, Cryptococcus, and Aspergillus species. We also evaluate their impact on the hemolysis of murine erythrocytes and the cytotoxicity against mammalian cell lines. While the triazole linker appears to confer optimal activity overall, all of the linkers incorporated into the TOB derivatives resulted in compounds that are very effective against the Cryptococcus neoformans species, with MIC values ranging from 0.48 to 3.9 μg/mL.

In this study, we investigated the in vitro antifungal activities, cytotoxicities, and membrane-disruptive actions of amphiphilic tobramycin (TOB) analogues. The antifungal activities were established by determination of MIC values and in time-kill studie

With the increased evolution of aminoglycoside (AG)-resistant bacterial strains, the need to develop AGs with 1) enhanced antimicrobial activity, 2) the ability to evade resistance mechanisms, and 3) the capability of targeting the ribosome with higher ef

Tobramycin-based cationic amphiphiles differing in the chemical bond linking their hydrophobic and hydrophilic parts were synthesized and biologically evaluated. Several compounds demonstrated potent antimicrobial activities compared to the parent drug. One analogue exhibited a significant reduction in red blood cells hemolysis, demonstrating that it is possible to maintain the antimicrobial potency of these molecules while reducing their undesired hemolytic effect through chemical modifications.

Amphiphilic tobramycin analogues with potent antibacterial activity against tobramycin-resistant bacteria were synthesized. Most analogues were found to be less prone to deactivation by aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes than tobramycin. These compounds tar
