This paper reviews intriguing recent findings on the mechanisms of drug induced hearing loss caused by two major classes of therapeutic agents: the aminoglycoside antibiotics and cisplatin. Both drug categories are nephrotoxic as well as ototoxic. Aminoglycosides and cisplatin target the outer hair cells in the basal turn of the cochlea to cause high ...

Genetic and Modifiable Risk Factors Contributing to Cisplatin-Induced Toxicities [PDF]
Effective administration of traditional cytotoxic chemotherapy is often limited by off-target toxicities. This clinical dilemma is epitomized by cisplatin, a platinating agent that has potent antineoplastic activity due to its affinity for DNA and other ...

Epigallocatechin-3-gallate, a prototypic chemopreventative agent for protection against cisplatin-based ototoxicity [PDF]
Cisplatin-induced ototoxicity is one of the major factors limiting cisplatin chemotherapy. Ototoxicity results from damage to outer hair cells (OHCs) and other regions of the cochlea.

Detecting Novel Ototoxins and Potentiation of Ototoxicity by Disease Settings
Over 100 drugs and chemicals are associated with permanent hearing loss, tinnitus, and vestibular deficits, collectively known as ototoxicity. The ototoxic potential of drugs is rarely assessed in pre-clinical drug development or during clinical trials ...

DRUG-INDUCED OTOTOXICITY. AMINOGLYCOSIDE OTOTOXICITY
In modern clinical practice, there are often cases of cochleovestibular disorders induced by the use of drugs. The term "drug-induced ototoxicity" is directly related to the introduction of streptomycin in medical practice and means the ability of drugs or chemicals to cause functional disorders and degeneration of internal ear structures: sensory ...

Mechanisms of sensorineural cell damage, death and survival in the cochlea. [PDF]
The majority of acquired hearing loss, including presbycusis, is caused by irreversible damage to the sensorineural tissues of the cochlea. This article reviews the intracellular mechanisms that contribute to sensorineural damage in the cochlea, as well ...

Cellular glutathione content in the organ of Corti and its role during ototoxicity. [PDF]
Glutathione (GSH) is the major scavenger of reactive oxygen species (ROS) inside cells. We used live confocal imaging in order to clarify the role of GSH in the biology of the organ of Corti, the sensory epithelium of the cochlea, before, during and ...

The endocannabinoid/cannabinoid receptor 2 system protects against cisplatin-induced hearing loss [PDF]
Previous studies have demonstrated the presence of cannabinoid 2 receptor (CB2R) in the rat cochlea which was induced by cisplatin. In an organ of Corti-derived cell culture model, it was also shown that an agonist of the CB2R protected these cells ...

Drug-induced stress granule formation protects sensory hair cells in mouse cochlear explants during ototoxicity [PDF]
Stress granules regulate RNA translation during cellular stress, a mechanism that is generally presumed to be protective, since stress granule dysregulation caused by mutation or ageing is associated with neurodegenerative disease.

Rifampicin and clarithromycin (extended release) versus rifampicin and streptomycin for limited Buruli ulcer lesions: a randomised, open-label, non-inferiority phase 3 trial. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Buruli ulcer is a neglected tropical disease caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans infection that damages the skin and subcutis. It is most prevalent in western and central Africa and Australia.
