Glycodiversification of gentamicins through in vivo glycosyltransferase swapping enabled the creation of novel hybrid aminoglycoside antibiotics with potent activity and low ototoxicity [PDF]
Aminoglycosides (AGs) are a class of antibiotics with a broad spectrum of activity. However, their use is limited by safety concerns associated with nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity, as well as drug resistance.

Differential modulation of gentamicin antibacterial activity by vitamin B12 and vitamin D3 against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria: an in vitro–in silico study [PDF]
Introduction Antimicrobial resistance and gentamicin-associated toxicity necessitate the development of non-antibiotic adjuvants that enhance aminoglycoside efficacy while reducing required doses.

The effect of high concentration of magnesium with ropivacaine, gentamicin, rocuronium, and their combination on neuromuscular blockade [PDF]
BackgroundMagnesium, ropivacaine, gentamicin, and rocuronium block neuromuscular (NM) transmission by different mechanisms. Therefore, concurrent administration of these agents may induce prolonged muscle paralysis via synergistic interaction. This study

New possibilities in the treatment of Meniere's disease [PDF]
The results of the treatment of Meniere's disease by intratympanic instillation of gentamicin in 32 patients over a 24-months period were analyzed. The receded vestibular function was found in 96,8% patients whereas in the remaining 3,2% pronounced ...

Protective Effect of Metformin on Gentamicin-Induced Vestibulotoxicity in Rat Primary Cell Culture [PDF]
ObjectivesOne of the antidiabetic drugs, metformin, have shown that it prevented oxidative stress-induced death in several cell types through a mechanism involving the opening of the permeability transition pore and cytochrome c release.

Synthesis of Gentamicin Minor Components: Gentamicin B1 and Gentamicin X2
The clinical aminoglycoside antibiotic gentamicin is a mixture of several difficult-to-separate major and minor components. The relative inaccessibility of the minor components in particular complicates efforts to separate antibacterial activity from nephro- and/or ototoxicity and to clarify the origin of the potentially therapeutically important read ...

Vinpocetine improves oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory mediators in acute kidney injury
Background: Gentamicin-induced-acute kidney injury (AKI) is a multifaceted phenomenon which previously linked to the oxidative stress only. Vinpocetine prevents reactive free radical generation which contributed in reduction of damage.
