This report describes the effects of endotoxin and a thromboxane receptor antagonist, L-655,240, on kidney function and the intrarenal pharmacokinetics of aminoglycosides. The rationale for these studies was that thromboxane antagonists may eventually be used in combination with aminoglycosides in patients with gram-negative sepsis and endotoxemia. As aminoglycosides are nephrotoxic and endotoxin has already been shown to increase the renal uptake of gentamicin, we investigated the possibility that thromboxane antagonists might interfere with the nephrotoxic potential of both substances. A decrease in the volume of distribution and an increase in the intracortical concentration of gentamicin were observed in animals given endotoxin. Compared with animals given endotoxin alone, those which received endotoxin plus L-655,240 had significant accumulation of gentamicin in the renal cortex and medulla, as determined by the area under the concentration-time curve, and a significant reduction in the total clearance of the antibiotic (P &lt; 0.05). This difference in uptake could not be attributed to hypotension or changes in the glomerular filtration rate or renal plasma flow. L-655,240 alone did not modify gentamicin pharmacokinetics but did decrease p-aminohippuric acid secretion. Thromboxane antagonists in the context of endotoxemia increase intrarenal uptake of aminoglycosides. If these compounds are to be used as therapeutic agents when endotoxin is present, their influence on renal handling of nephrotoxic drugs needs to be considered. Multiple-dosing regimens deserve investigation.
