title: [Experimental studies of the nephroprotective effect of fosfomycin].
abstract: We studied in an experimental rat model, if fosfomycin reduces the tubulotoxicity induced by tobramycin, teicoplanin, cisplatin or ciclosporine A and is thus a nephroprotective agent. 10 female wistar rats per dose and compound were used, measures of tubulotoxicity were urinary excretion rates of tubular cells and malate dehydrogenase on 5 successive days. Fosfomycin proved to be a potent nephroprotector against all 4 nephrotoxins. Its activity was not based on pharmacokinetic interactions but on a pharmacodynamic effect. Presumably, fosfomycin stabilises the membranes of lysosomes in tubular cells.
