Glomerular Filtration Rate Changes in Neonates with Sepsis Treated with Amikacin and Cefotaxime
Background and purpose: Aminoglycosides (AG) such as Amikacin that are widely used to prevent and treat infections in neonates have nephrotoxic effects.

Aging, noise, and ototoxic drug-induced hair cell (HC) loss are the major causes of sensorineural hearing loss. Aminoglycoside antibiotics are commonly used in the clinic, but these often have ototoxic side effects due to the accumulation of oxygen-free ...

The Pharmacodynamics of Aminoglycosides [PDF]
Recently, a more complete understanding of the pharmacodynamics of aminoglycosides has been recognized, indicating that this class of antibiotics exhibits both concentration-dependent bactericidal activity and a postantibiotic effect. This pharmacodynamic information, along with better knowledge of the mechanisms responsible for aminoglycoside toxicity,

Aminoglycosides are a class of antibiotics that play a key role in antimicrobial treatment of Multidrug resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacilli, typically in combination with β-lactams. Ribosomal 16S RNA modification by methyltransferases (e.g. RmtG) is an

Recoding of Nonsense Mutation as a Pharmacological Strategy
Approximately 11% of genetic human diseases are caused by nonsense mutations that introduce a premature termination codon (PTC) into the coding sequence. The PTC results in the production of a potentially harmful shortened polypeptide and activation of a

Stop codon readthrough (SCR) occurs when the ribosome miscodes at a stop codon. Such readthrough events can be therapeutically desirable when a premature termination codon (PTC) is found in a critical gene.

Analysis of potential protective effects of caffeic acid phenethyl ester against gentamicin ototoxicity: An experimental study [PDF]
Objective(s): In this study, it is aimed to investigate the potential protective effect of caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) on ototoxicity caused by gentamicin in a rat model.Materials and Methods: Thirty Wistar albino rats were divided into 3 groups.

Aminoglycoside and Nephrotoxicity
The effect of three aminoglycosides – gentamicin, netilmicin and amikacin – on renal acid excretion was studied in male rats treated with doses equivalent to those clinically used. The amikacin and netilmicin groups showed no important changes in the values of glomerular filtration rate (GFR), effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) and U/P inulin ratio ...
