1. Methyltransferases of gentamicin biosynthesis

Gentamicin C complex fromMicromonospora echinosporaremains a globally important antibiotic, and there is revived interest in the semisynthesis of analogs that might show improved therapeutic properties. The complex consists of five components differing in their methylation pattern at one or more sites in the molecule. We show here, using specific gene deletion and chemical complementation, that the gentamicin pathway up to the branch point is defined by the selectivity of the methyltransferases GenN, GenD1, and GenK. Unexpectedly, they comprise a methylation network in which early intermediates are ectopically modified. Using whole-genome sequence, we have also discovered the terminal 6'-N-methyltransfer required to produce gentamicin C2b from C1a or gentamicin C1 from C2, an example of an essential biosynthetic enzyme being located not in the biosynthetic gene cluster but far removed on the chromosome. These findings fully account for the methylation pattern in gentamicins and open the way to production of individual gentamicins by fermentation, as starting materials for semisynthesis.
2. Biosynthesis of Epimers C2 and C2a in the Gentamicin C Complex
Da Wang, Yawen Gu, Xianpu Ni, Huiyuan Gao, Jun Ren, Huanzhang Xia Chembiochem . 2015 Sep 7;16(13):1933-1942. doi: 10.1002/cbic.201500258.
Gentamicin is a broad-spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic widely used to treat life-threatening bacterial infections. The gentamicin C complex consists of gentamicin C1, gentamicin C1a, and epimers gentamicin C2 and gentamicin C2a. At present there is a generally accepted pathway of gentamicin biosynthesis, except for detailed understanding of the epimerization process involving gentamicins C2 and C2a. Here we have investigated the biosynthesis of these epimers. JI-20B-an intermediate in the gentamicin biosynthetic pathway-and its epimer JI-20Ba were generated by in-frame deletion within genP, which encodes a phosphotransferase that catalyzes the first step of 3',4'-bisdehydroxylation in gentamicin biosynthesis. GenB1 and GenB2 are aminotransferases with different substrate specificities and enantioselectivities. JI-20Ba, containing a 6'S chiral amine, a precursor of gentamicin C2a, was synthesized from G418 by GenQ/GenB1 through sequential oxidation/transamination at C-6'. GenQ/GenB2 catalyzed the synthesis of JI-20B, containing a 6'R chiral amine, a precursor of gentamicin C2, from G418. GenB2 catalyzed the epimerization of JI-20Ba/JI-20B and of gentamicins C2a/C2.
3. [Prospektives Audit des Gentamicin Drug Monitorings in einem Kinderkrebszentrum]
Dietmar Hecker, Arne Simon, Sören L Becker, Sarah Herberger, Nadine Oberkircher, Norbert Graf, Gudrun Wagenpfeil, Cihan Papan, Rhoikos Furtwängler, Gentiana I Wenzel Klin Padiatr . 2021 May;233(3):123-126. doi: 10.1055/a-1352-5053.
Background:Many pediatric cancer centers still use Gentamicin as first line combination treatment in patients with fever and neutropenia. Since 2011, our center has implemented a dosing regimen with 250 mg/m2BSA (max. 10 mg/kg, max. 400 mg) as a single daily infusion according to the German guideline.Patients and methods:In this prospective audit (February 2011 to December 2019), 105 Gentamicin treatment cycles were analyzed in 66 pediatric cancer patients, focusing on adherence to the dosing regimen and the drug monitoring results.Results:Adherence to the dosing regimen was high (89%). In 64% of all cycles, the Cmax(drawn 1 h after the 2nddose) reached the target of 10-20 µg/ml. Cmaxsignificantly correlated with dosing in mg/m2BSA (p=0,007), but not with dosing in mg/kg (p=0,366). Age below 6 years did not influence these results. The Gentamicin Ctrough(drawn 8-10 h after the second dose) was < 2 µg/ml in 93% of all cycles without any dose correlation. None of the patients experienced Gentamicin-associated nephrotoxicity.Discussion and conclusion:This prospective audit of single daily infusion Gentamicin in pediatric cancer patients without impaired renal function elicits the feasibility and safety of the dosing regimen in mg/m2BSA according to the German guideline. Since indications for first-line gentamicin are limited, a multicenter prospective study would be advantageous to confirm these observations.
