Comparative nephrotoxicity of gentamicin and netilmicin: functional and morphological correlations with urinary enzyme activities. 1979

R D Adelman, and G Conzelman, and W Spangler, and G Ishizaki

An increase in urinary enzyme activities reflected biopsy confirmed aminoglycoside nephrotoxicity (proximal tubular injury) before changes in blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, urinary osmolality and urinary protein excretion. Netilmicin, a semisynthetic derivative of gentamicin, was less nephrotoxic than gentamicin.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries

D009113 Muramidase A basic enzyme that is present in saliva, tears, egg white, and many animal fluids. It functions as an antibacterial agent. The enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of 1,4-beta-linkages between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in peptidoglycan and between N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in chitodextrin. EC 3.2.1.17. Lysozyme,Leftose,N-Acetylmuramide Glycanhydrolase,Glycanhydrolase, N-Acetylmuramide,N Acetylmuramide Glycanhydrolase
D009428 Netilmicin Semisynthetic 1-N-ethyl derivative of SISOMYCIN, an aminoglycoside antibiotic with action similar to gentamicin, but less ear and kidney toxicity. Certomycin,Netillin,Netilmicin Sulfate,Netrocin,Netromicina,Netromycin,Netromycine,Nétromicine,Sch-20569,Sch 20569,Sch20569
