First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An amphiphilic molecule with a structure having reduced antimicrobial activity when compared to unmodified kanamycin; wherein Y is H 2 , Z is HR 4 , R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 are, methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, linear alkyl, alkylcarbonyl chains, or cyclic groups. 2. The molecule of claim 1 , wherein the molecule has at least one of: substantially no antimicrobial activity, no antibacterial activity, or inhibits connexin hemichannels. 3. A molecule of formula: wherein R in compounds 7b to 7 h is selected from at least one of: R Compound 7b 7c 7d 7e 7f 7g  7h. 4. A molecule comprising the formula: wherein Code/compound # R K46B01/7 Benzyl; K46BM5/8 Benzyl and all hydroxyl groups were methylated; K46B09/10 K46B03/11 K46B10/12 K46B04/13 K46B05/14 K46B11/15 K46B07/16 5.
