Geneticin
Geneticin, also known as G418, belongs to a group of positively charged sugar derivatives known as aminoglycosides. Aminoglycosides contain three rings that possess hydroxyl, ammonium, and methyl groups.[1] This groups of proteins bind to different regions of the 30S particle of the ribosome during protein synthesis and interfering with the process. The different regions of the ribosome they bind to depend on their chemical structures. Because geneticin is capable of binding to the 80S ribosome, it is known to be toxic to eukaryotic organisms. However, studies have shown that geneticin can be used in medicine to treat parasites and in the treatment of genetic disorders.
