Pentoxifylline in amphotericin B toxicity rat model.
The mechanism of acute nephrotoxicity following the administration of amphotericin B (AmpB) remains unclear despite a number of studies describing hypermagnesuria, hyperkaluria, and hemodynamic changes. The present experiments attempted to elucidate the mechanism by using a novel hemorheologic probe, pentoxifylline (PTX). Acute studies were performed with rats given single intravenous doses of ...
متن کاملNeutrophil toxicity of amphotericin B.
The toxicity of amphotericin B (AmB) for neutrophils and the protective effect of serum cholesterol were investigated. Neutrophils were exposed in vitro to varying concentrations of AmB. As judged by trypan blue exclusion, neutrophil viability decreased by 40% (P < 0.001) within 30 min of incubation in sterol-free buffer containing 5 mug of AmB per ml. In the presence of 4 mg of cholesterol per...
متن کاملAmphotericin B: side effects and toxicity.
Amphotericin B (AmB) is a crucial agent in the management of serious systemic fungal infections. In spite of its proven track record, its well-known side effects and toxicity will sometimes require discontinuation of therapy despite a life-threatening systemic fungal infection. The mechanism of action of AmB is based on the binding of the AmB molecule to the fungal cell membrane ergosterol, pro...
متن کاملAmphotericin B induced ocular toxicity in cryptococcal meningitis.
We report a case of acute visual loss after a test dose (1 mg) of intravenous amphotericin B administered to a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus and with cryptococcal meningitis. Her visual acuity was normal prior to the injection of amphotericin B. The meningitis subsequently responded to miconazole and flucytosine treatment. Our findings suggest that amphotericin B should be withheld ...
متن کاملInfluence of amphotericin B deoxycholate or amphotericin B colloidal dispersion on renal tubule epithelium in rat.
Amphotericin B deoxycholate (AmB) or Amphotericin B colloidal dispersion (ABCD) are used in clinics for the treatment of systemic fungal infections. The goal of our study was to compare the nephrotoxicity of these drugs in rat kidney. The effects of AmB and ABCD on the ultrastructure of the epithelium of renal tubules were studied and evaluated using morphometric and statistical methods. Two gr...
