Interaction of Neomycin, Tobramycin and Amikacin with Melanin in Vitro in Relation to Aminoglycosides-Induced Ototoxicity ORIGINAL ARTICLES Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmacy, Medical University of Silesia, Sosnowiec, Poland Interaction of neomycin, tobramycin and amikacin with melanin in vitro in relation to aminoglycosides-induced ototoxicity E. Buszman, D. Wrzes´niok, J. Trzcionka Received July 13, 2006, accepted August 2, 2006 Prof. Ewa Buszman, Ph.D, Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmacy, Medical University of Silesia, Jagiellon´ska 4, PL-41-200 Sosnowiec, Poland [email protected] Pharmazie 62: 210–215 (2007) doi: 10.1691/ph.2007.3.6651 The aim of this study was to examine in vitro the interaction between aminoglycoside antibiotics dis- playing adverse ototoxic effects and melanin which is a constituent of the inner ear. The binding of neomycin, tobramycin and amikacin to model synthetic melanin was studied. It has been demon- strated that all the investigated aminoglycosides form stable complexes with melanin biopolymer. The obtained results show that the amount of drug bound to melanin increases with the increase of initial drug concentration and the incubation time. An analysis of drugs binding to melanin by the use of Scatchard plots has shown that at least two classes of independent binding sites must be implicated in the studied aminoglycoside antibiotic-melanin complexes formation: strong binding sites (n1) with 5 À1 the association constant K1 0.2–2.0 Á 10 M and weak binding sites (n2) with K2 1.0– 4.9 Á 103 MÀ1. Based on the values of association constants the following order of drugs affinity to DOPA-melanin was found: tobramycin > amikacin neomycin. The ability of the analyzed aminogly- coside antibiotics to form complexes with melanin in vitro may be one of the reasons for their ototoxi- city in vivo, as a result of their accumulation in melanin in the inner ear. 1.

Heat if necessary to dissolve the medium completely. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes. Advice:Recommended for the Microbiological assay of Amikacin, Bacitracin, Capreomycin, Chlortetracycline,Chloramphenicol,Cycloserine,Demeclocycline,Dihydrostreptomycin, Doxycycline, Gentamicin, Gramicidin, Kanamycin, Methacycline, Neomycin, Novobiocin, Oxytetracycline, Rolitetracycline, Streptomycin, Tetracycline, Tobramycin, Trolendomycin and Tylosin according to official methods . Principle And Interpretation Antibiotic Assay Medium is used in the performance of antibiotic assays. Grove and Randall have elucidated those antibiotic assays and media in their comprehensive treatise on antibiotic assays (1). Antibiotic Assay Medium No. 3 (Assay Broth) is used in the microbiological assay of different antibiotics in pharmaceutical and food products by the turbidimetric method. Ripperre et al reported that turbidimetric methods for determining the potency of antibiotics are inherently more accurate and more precise than agar diffusion procedures (2). Turbidimetric antibiotic assay is based on the change or inhibition of growth of a test microorganims in a liquid medium containing a uniform concentration of an antibiotic. After incubation of the test organism in the working dilutions of the antibiotics, the amount of growth is determined by measuring the light transmittance using spectrophotometer.

Methods: Determination of thimerosal concentration in combinations with chloramphenicol and neomycin sulfate was carried out using the agar diffusion method. Then the thimerosal ineffective and minimal concentration was formulated into eye drops, each with 0.5% neomycin sulfate and 0.5% chloramphenicol as the active ingredient. Evaluation of eye drops was carried out for 28 d, which included: visual observation, pH measurement, sterility, and effectiveness test. Results: Thimerosal at a minimum concentration of 0.001% remain to provide antibacterial activity against common eyes contaminants. Both eyes drops containing neomycin sulfate, and chloramphenicol resulted in clear solution, sterile, and stable in the pH and antibacterial potency,showed the efficacy of thimerosal’s role in eye drops at the lowest concentration. But, the thimerosal stability as a preservative agent was affected by the pH values of the eye drops solution. Therefore, the effectivity of thimerosal in chloramphenicol (pH 7.19-7.22) was better than neomycin sulfate (6.45- 6.60).
