 Neomycin
Abstract: The objective of the present paper was to study the interaction of Neomycin and aluminium hydroxide with vitamin A in terms of the effect of these drugs on the bioavailability of vitamin A in the rat.
Neomycin reduced the bioavailability of vitamin A by 13.9% (maximum, 18.1% and minimum, 9.6%) in assay 1 and by 13.5% (maximum, 17.7% and minimum, 9.3%) in assay 2.
The results of the experiments suggest the conclusion that a normal metabolism of phosphatidylinositol controlling calcium transport into the cells is necessary for the stimulating effect of vitamin C on the contractions of the smooth muscles in the digestive tract.

 In Vitro Selection Analysis of Neomycin Binding RNAs with a Mutagenized Pool of Variants of the 16S rRNA Decoding Region
An in vitro selection for neomycin B binding was carried out with an RNA pool containing a 47-nucleotide domain of the decoding region of 16S ribosomal RNA, mutated at 30% per base position.
After five cycles of selection/amplification, RNA sequences were isolated which specifically bound to neomycin B. Cloning and sequencing showed that none of the isolated clones shared primary sequence or secondary structure homology with the decoding region of 16S RNA.
However, motif B bound to neomycin B at Mg concentrations at which binding of the other RNAs tested was significantly lower or not detectable.
