The molecule is an aminoglycoside that is 4alpha,6alpha-diaminocyclohexane-1beta,2alpha,3beta-triol in which the pro-R hydroxy group has been converted into its 2-acetamido-alpha-D-glucoside derivative. It derives from an alpha-D-glucose and a 2-deoxystreptamine. It is a conjugate base of a 2'-N-acetylparomamine(2+).
N-[(2S,3R,4R,5S,6R)-2-[(1R,2R,3S,4R,6S)-4,6-diamino-2,3-dihydroxycyclohexyl]oxy-4,5-dihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)oxan-3-yl]acetamide
