The molecule is an amino cyclitol glycoside that is (1R,2S,3S,4S,5S,6R)-2-amino-1,3,4,6-tetrahydroxy-5-(methylamino)cyclohexane in which the hydroxy group at position 1 is glycosylated by a heptapyranosyl residue. It has a role as a bacterial metabolite. It is an amino cyclitol glycoside, an aminoglycoside antibiotic and an aldoheptose derivative.
(1S,2S,3S,4R,5R,6S)-6-amino-5-[(2S,3R,4R,5S,6R)-3-amino-6-[(1S)-1-aminoethyl]-4,5-dihydroxyoxan-2-yl]oxy-3-(methylamino)cyclohexane-1,2,4-triol
