The Effect of Kanamycin on the Erythrocyte Membrane

(Directed by Prof. Doo Hee Kang, M. D.)
Following discovery of kanamycin by Umezawa in 1957, this drug was found to be
effective on gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacteria and mycobacterial
infections.
However, it soon became apparent that this antibiotic like other drugs such as
streptomycin, dehydrostreptomycin and neomycin isolated from streptomyces could
Produce serious ototoxicity.
Numerous attempts were mode to investigate the nature of the toxic effect of
kanamycin on the inner ear, specially in the membranous cochlea. Hawkins (1957),
Benitez et al.(1962), Koide et al. (1966), Fartashidy et al. (1963), and Mendelsohn
and Katzenberg (1972) reported the pathological changes in the inner ear fellowing
administration of kanamycin. They found that outer hair cells were affected in a
greater extent than the inner hair cells of the organ of Corti.
The results of other investigators including Mizukoshi and Daly(1967), Ishii et
al (1968), Henderson et al. (1969), and Mendelsohn and Katzenberg (1972) showed a
reduced oxygen consumption rate and inhibition of certain enzyme activities such as
adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase), Iysosomal enzyme and succinic dehydrogenase in
the damaged membranous cochlea of guinea pigs treated with kanamycin. And they also
found that the ion Permeability across biological membrane and artificial membrane
was changed by certain antibiotics and kanamycin.
In this stuffy, the effect of kanamycin on osmotic hemolysis of erythrocyte,
mechanical resistance of erythrocyte to ultrasonification, Ca**++ binding on
erythrocyte membrane fragments and (22**Na permeability across erythrocyte membrane
was investigated. Also the effect of this agent on light scattering of hepatic
mitochondrial suspension was studied.
The results were summarise? as fellows;
1. Kanamycin inhibited osmotic hemolysis of erythrocyte in proportion to its
concentration and mitochondrial swelling was also inhibited by kanamycin. The
latter finding was similar to the result obtained in the presence of
2.4.-dinitrophenol (DNP).
2. An increase of permeability to 72Na across erythrocyte membrane by kanamycin
was found.
3. Mechanical resistance of erythrocyte membrane to ultrasonification was
increased following kanamycin administration.
4. A competitive inhibition of Ca**++ binding to erythrocyte membrane fragment
was found. However, unlike local anesthetics such as procaine, no effect on the
action potential of frog's sciatic nerve was demonstrated by application of
kanamycin to the nerve.
It is speculated by above findings, that kanamycin replaces Ca**++ from
biological membrane such as erythrocyte membrane, and also this agent stabilizes
the biological membrane without reducing permeability of ion ((22**Na) across the
membrane.
