Isepamicin sulfate is an aminoglycoside antibiotic derived from gentamicin B.
| Mechanism of Action | Similar to other aminoglycosides, isepamicin sulfate binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit resulting in an inability to read mRNA ultimately producing a faulty or nonexistent protein. |
| Molecular Formula | C22H43N5O12 · xH2SO4 |
