Kasugamycin hydrochloride  (Synonyms: Ksg hydrochloride)

Kasugamycin hydrochloride (Ksg hydrochloride) is an antibiotic which binds both the 30S and 70S ribosome but not isolated 50S subunits. Kasugamycin hydrochloride (Ksg hydrochloride) mimics mRNA nucleotides to destabilize tRNA binding and inhibit canonical translation initiation^[1][2].
