title: Protection from amphotericin B-induced lipid peroxidation in rats by fructose-1,6-diphosphate.
abstract: Amphotericin B's (Amp B) usefulness is associated with a number of toxic cellular side effects. We investigated the in vivo effects of Amp B on the lipid peroxide (malondialdehyde [MDA]) levels in various organs of rats infused with 1.5 mg/kg body weight of Amp B. The rats (n = 8) experienced cardiac arrest following Amp B infusion. Among the organs, the kidney exhibited higher levels of MDA and was followed by brain > liver > lung > heart. Pretreatment of rats with 0.35 g/kg body weight of fructose-1,6-diphosphate (FDP) prior to Amp B infusion reduced the extent of MDA formation in all organs. These studies suggest that Amp B-associated toxicity in rats may involve the formation of lipid peroxide damage and FDP, in part by reducing these effects, may afford partial protection.
