Article Abstract

Background: Colistin is a polymyxin antibiotic which has been used for treatment of Gram-negative infections, but it was withdrawn due to its nephrotoxicity. However, colistin has gained its popularity in recent years due to the reemergence of multidrug resistant Gram-negative infections and drug-induced toxicity is considered as the main obstacle for using this valuable antibiotic.

Results: In total, 30 articles, including 29 animal studies and one clinical trial were included in this study. These compounds, including aged black garlic extract, albumin fragments, alpha lipoic acid, astaxanthin, baicalein, chrysin, cilastatin, colchicine, curcumin, cytochrome c, dexmedetomidine, gelofusine, grape seed proanthocyanidin extract, hesperidin, luteolin, lycopene, melatonin, methionine, N-acetylcysteine, silymarin, taurine, vitamin C, and vitamin E exhibited beneficial effects in most of the published works.

Conclusions: In this review, the authors have attempted to review the available literature on the use of several compounds for prevention or attenuation of colistin-induced nephrotoxicity. Most of the studied compounds were potent antioxidants, and it seems that using antioxidants concomitantly can have a protective effect during the colistin exposure.

Colistin is essential for treating multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections but has significant nephrotoxic side effects. Traditional approaches for studying colistin's nephrotoxicity are challenged by the rapid metabolism of its prodrug, colistin methanesulfonate and the difficulty of obtaining adequate plasma from critically ill patients. To address these challenges, we developed the Spheroid Nephrotoxicity Assessing Platform (SNAP), a microfluidic device that efficiently detects colistin-induced toxicity in renal proximal tubular epithelial cell (RPTEC) spheroids within 48 hours using just 200 μL of patient plasma.

Pioglitazone, an anti-diabetic drug, has been previously shown to ameliorate kidney damage through anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. In this study, we employed an integrative bioinformatics approach to study the possible mechanisms involved in the mitigative effect of pioglitazone against colistin-induced nephrotoxicity. Next, we validated the results obtained from the bioinformatics study by pre-treating human kidney-2 (HK-2) cell line with pioglitazone 100 μM for 30 minutes and then treating the cells with colistin sulfate 1200 μM for 24 hours.

Colistin is considered one of the most effective antibiotics against gram-negative bacteria. However, nephrotoxicity is one of the dose-limiting factors in its treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the outcome of omega-3 nanoemulsion against colistin-induced nephrotoxicity and its possible underlying mechanism.

  • The study investigated whether Magnesium (Mg) Sulfate could protect kidneys from damage during colistin therapy, a last-resort antibiotic known for causing nephrotoxicity.
  • Conducted between January 2023 and February 2024, the trial involved 87 patients, with those receiving Mg sulfate showing a lower incidence of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) compared to the placebo group (30.43% vs. 51.21%).
  • Results suggest Mg sulfate use can significantly lower AKI rates and improve patient safety without impacting hospital stay length or mortality rates.

Background: Colistin (Cst) is one of the antimicrobial peptides and is reserved for use against multi-drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. However, the clinical value of Cst is limited by its nephrotoxic adverse effects. Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) is a honeybee propolis flavonoid recognised for its diverse pharmacological potential.
