GtoPdb Ligand ID: 10894

Synonyms: Amikin® | AMK | Arikayce liposomal® | BB-K8
Approved drug PDB Ligand
amikacin is an approved drug (FDA (1981), EMA (2020))
Compound class: Synthetic organic
Comment: Amikacin is a semi-synthetic aminoglycoside antibacterial that is active against a broad spectrum of Gram-negative organisms, including pseudomonas and some Gram-positive organisms (principally Staphylococcus aureus, including some methicillin-resistant strains). It is a kanamycin derivative. Functionally it binds to the bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit and disrupts protein synthesis, thereby creating its bactericidal effect.

2D Structure

An image of the ligand's 2D structure. For small molecules with SMILES these are drawn using the NCI/CADD Chemical Identifier Resolver. Click on the image to access the chemical structure search tool with the ligand pre-loaded in the structure editor. For other types of ligands, e.g. longer nucleotides and peptides, a manually drawn representation of the molecule may be provided.

Physico-chemical Properties

Calculated molecular properties are available for small molecules and natural products (not peptides). Properties were generated using the CDK toolkit. All properties were selected to enable the prediction of the Lipinski Rule-of-Five profile or ‘druglikeness’ for each ligand. For more info on each category see the help pages.

SMILES / InChI / InChIKey

SMILES (Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry Specification) A specification for unambiguously describing the structure of chemical molecules using short ASCII strings. Canonical SMILES specify a unique representation of the 2D structure without chiral or isotopic specifications. Isomeric SMILES include chiral specification and isotopes.

Standard InChI (IUPAC International Chemical Identifier) and InChIKey InChI is a non-proprietary, standard, textual identifier for chemical substances designed to facilitate linking of information and database searching. An InChIKey is a simplified version of a full InChI, designed for easier web searching.

Summary of Clinical Use Click here for help
Amikacin is parenterally administered as amikacin sulphate. It is typically used, short-term, to treat severe gram negative infections. Under the EMA jurisdiction amikacin is approved as a treatment for non-tuberculous mycobacterial lung infections (caused by Mycobacterium avium Complex) in adults with limited treatment options who do not have cystic fibrosis, and holds orphan designation for the treatment for Pseudomonas aeuriginosa lung infections in patients with cystic fibrosis.
