Amphotericin B S/E
clinical usefulness is limited by its nephrotoxicity
- histological damage to renal tubules w cell necrosis
- renal tubular acidosis (a defect of renal function that produces systemic acidosis because bicarbonate ion cannot be reabsorbed in the PT or DT).
- hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis

renal toxicity can be avoided by giving mannitol to induce a high rate of urinary flow

bactericidal; binds to 30S subunit = interfere w initiation complex of peptide formation, causes misreading of mRNA and break polysomes into non-functional monosomes
Aminoglycosides and PCNs
PCNs increase the penetration of Aminoglycosides, synergistic
Aminoglycosides S/E
- ototoxic
- nephrotoxic, more so in elderly patients
- drug accumulates in cells of PT and causes necrosis so urinary excretion of brush border enzymes increases - effect usually reversible since cells of PT can regenerate

- decreased GFR, mild proteinuria, hyaline and granular casts in urine

- net effect = mild increase in serum creatinine, hypokalemia, hypocalcemia and hypophosphatemia
