Aminoglycoside antibiotics bind to the A-site decoding region of bacterial rRNA causing mistranslation and/or premature message termination. Aminoglycoside binding to A-site RNA decoding region constructs is established here to be only weakly stereospecific. Mirror-image prokaryotic A-site decoding region constructs were prepared in the naturald-series and the enantiomericl-series and tested for binding to a series of aminoglycosides. In general, aminoglycosides bind to thed-series decoding region constructs with 2−3-fold higher affinities than they bind to the enantiomericl-series. Moreover,l-neamine, the enantiomer of naturally occurringd-neamine, was prepared and shown to bind approximately 2-fold more weakly thand-neamine to the natural series decoding region construct, a result consistent with weakly stereospecific binding. The binding of naturally occurringd-neamine and its syntheticl-enantiomer was further evaluated with respect to binding to prokaryotic and eukaryotic ribosomes. Here, weak stereospecifcity was again observed withl-neamine being the more potent binder by a factor of approximately 2. However, on a functional level, unnaturall-neamine proved to inhibit in vitro translation with significantly lower potency (approximately 5-fold) thand-neamine. In addition, bothl- andd-neamine are bacteriocidal toward Gram-(−) bacteria.l-Neamine inhibits the growth ofE. coliandP. aeruginosawith 8- and 3-fold higher MIC thand-neamine. Interestingly,l-neamine also inhibits the growth of aminoglycoside-resistantE. coli,which expresses a kinase able to phosphorylate and detoxify aminoglycosides of thed-series. These observations suggest that mirror-image aminoglycosides may avoid certain forms of enzyme-mediated resistance.
