    1 Physical and chemical properties and uses

    Aminoglycosides (AGs) drugs are glycoside antibiotics that contain two or more amino sugars and amino cyclic alcohols and are connected by glycosidic bonds
    .


    AGs are produced through the fermentation of various actinomycetes, and are derived from Streptomyces (Streptomyces) varieties and their derivatives such as streptomycin, tobramycin , spectinomycin, etc.

    1 Physical and chemical properties

    The structure and physicochemical properties of AGs are similar.
    They are alkaline compounds, have high polarity, are easily soluble in water, and can form salts with inorganic acids (such as sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid ) or organic acids
    .


    The sulfate is a white or nearly white crystalline powder, which is hygroscopic and easily soluble in water, but hardly soluble in most organic solvents

    2 Purpose

    By irreversibly binding with bacterial ribosomes, AGs can interfere with bacterial protein synthesis and cause cell membrane damage, thereby inhibiting bacterial growth
    .


    AGs are bactericidal agents in the stationary phase, and their bactericidal effects are concentration-dependent.


    AGs are mainly used for systemic infections caused by sensitive aerobic gram-negative bacilli
    .


    Although a variety of cephalosporins and quinolones have been widely used in clinical practice in recent years, AGs are still used because they have strong inhibitory effects on common gram-negative bacilli such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, pneumoniae, E.
