| Application: | • Paromomycin sulfate salt has been used as a: • reference compound in antileishmanial activity • RNA-binding ligand and interacts with aptamer. This interaction prevents the binding (and cutting) of dicer to RNA duplex. Recommended for use in cell culture applications at 100mg/L. |
| Application: | Paromomycin sulfate salt has been used as a positive control to compare the purine analog antiviral 2′,3′-dideoxyinosine (ddI). |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Antimicrobial spectrum: Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, some protozoan species, and limited antihelminth. Mode of Action: Inhibits initiation and elongation during protein synthesis. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Paromomycin inhibits the initiation and elongation steps of protein synthesis by binding to 16S ribosomal RNA. Paramomycin binds to the A site, which causes defective polypeptide chains to be produced and leads to cell death. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Paromomycin possesses antileishmanial and antibacterial activities. It is used to cure visceral leishmaniasis (VL) and cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). This aminocyclitol glycoside is active against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. It is also active against E. histolytica, D. fragilis and several cestodes, like Taenia saginata, Taenia solium etc. |
