Novel aminoglycosides, represented by Formulae (e.g., a compound of Formula A, B, I, I*, III or III*, including compounds represented by Formula Ia, I**, I*a, I*b, IIIa, III**, III*a and, III*b), as defined in the instant specification, designed to exhibit stop codon mutation readthrough activity, are provided. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions containing the same, and uses thereof in the treatment of genetic diseases and disorders, such as diseases and disorders associated with stop codon mutations.

The invention relates to the field of carbohydrate chemistry. Provided is a process for the regioselective oxidation of a single secondary hydroxy function of a carbohydrate substrate comprising two or more secondary hydroxy functions, comprising contacting the carbohydrate substrate in a solvent in the presence of a transition metal catalyst complex with an oxidizing agent to yield a mono-oxidized carbohydrate.
