What Is Kanamycin?
Kanamycin is an inhibitor of protein biosynthesis that causes misreading of the mRNA code by binding to the 30S ribosome. If an enzyme that destroys kanamycin is produced in bacteria, it can become a resistant strain. Kanamycin-resistant plasmids are often used in molecular cloning as selection or marker genes.

Kanamycin function
- Some strains of E. coli, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Proteus, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Staphylococcus aureus are sensitive to this product
- Glomerular filtration metabolizes drugs
- Intramuscular injection of 0.5g, peak blood concentration at about 1 hour, about 20 g / ml, t1 / 2 of about 2.5 hours, plasma protein binding rate is very low, distribution volume (Vd) is 0.26 ± 0.05L / kg, 24 hours after administration Ninety percent of the drug is excreted from the urine in its original form within hours. This product easily penetrates into pleural fluid and ascites. Effective concentrations cannot be achieved in cerebrospinal fluid.
- Orally used to treat intestinal infections caused by sensitive bacteria and used as preparations for intestinal surgery, and has the effect of reducing ammonia production by intestinal bacteria, and has a certain prevention effect on liver coma in patients with cirrhosis and gastrointestinal bleeding.
- Intramuscular injection is used for systemic infections caused by sensitive bacteria, such as pneumonia, sepsis, and urinary tract infections.
- Kanamycin diluted to a certain concentration and sprayed on cotton leaves can be used to identify whether it is Bt transgenic insect-resistant cotton. The leaves are yellow and not resistant to cotton bollworm, and the color is insect-resistant cotton [2]
Kanamycin dosage
- 1. Adults usually use intramuscular injection or intravenous drip, 0.5g once (based on kanamycin, the same below), 1 to 1.2g a day. Or by weight 5mg / kg,
- Creatinine clearance
- 3. Other usages: 0.25% of this product solution can be used to wash the lesions, this product injection can be used for gas-soluble inhalation.
- Creatinine clearance
- (1) Blood concentration should be monitored, especially for neonates, elderly and patients with renal insufficiency. The effective therapeutic concentration range of kanamycin is 15-30 g / ml. It should be avoided that the peak plasma concentration is continuously above 30-35 g / ml and the trough concentration exceeds 5 g / ml.
- (2) When the blood concentration cannot be measured, the dose should be adjusted based on the measured creatinine clearance.
- (3) After the first saturation dose (5 to 7.5 mg / kg) is given, the maintenance amount used in patients with renal insufficiency and vestibular function or hearing loss should be reduced, that is, the dose is unchanged, and the interval between administrations is prolonged; or The drug interval is unchanged, and kanamycin is reduced or discontinued with each dose. Its maintenance amount can be calculated as follows:
- Extend the interval between administrations (hours), with each dose unchanged (7.5mg / kg), the interval between administrations = the patient's blood creatinine value (mg / 100ml) × 9
- Reduce the dosage per administration, once every 12 hours: each dosage = patient's blood creatinine clearance (mg / min) × 7.5 (mg / kg) / normal human creatinine clearance (mg / min). Because kanamycin is not metabolized in the body and is mainly excreted in the urine, patients with impaired renal function may cause drug accumulation to a toxic concentration.
- (4) Patients should be given enough water to reduce renal tubular damage.
- (5) Long-term medication may lead to excessive growth of drug-resistant bacteria.
- (6) Preparation of Kanamycin Sulfate Intravenous Infusion Solution: Kanamycin sulfate injection without dilution cannot be directly injected intravenously. Take kanamycin sulfate injection and dilute it with sodium chloride injection or 5% glucose injection; or take kanamycin sulfate for injection and dissolve it with sterilized water for injection first, add 200 1 g of kanamycin 400ml sodium chloride injection or 5% glucose injection or other appropriate sterilized diluent: The solution should be dripped within 30 to 60 minutes after preparation. Pediatric patients should reduce the amount of diluent accordingly. This product is only allowed for intramuscular injection and intravenous drip, not static push.
Kanamycin precautions
- (1) Use with caution in patients with renal insufficiency.
- (2) The toxicity of aminoglycosides is closely related to their blood concentration. In order to prevent the blood concentration from rising suddenly, this product is only for intramuscular injection and intravenous drip. It has a breath-suppressing effect. It cannot be pushed quietly to prevent accidents.
Kanamycin kinetics
- After intramuscular injection, the product is quickly absorbed, and a certain amount of drug can be absorbed from the body surface after local irrigation or topical application. It is mainly distributed in extracellular fluid. The concentration in normal infants' cerebrospinal fluid can reach 10-20% of the plasma concentration of the same period, and when the meninges are inflamed, it can reach 50% of the plasma concentration of the same period. 5 to 15% of the drug is redistributed to various tissues, which can accumulate in renal cortical cells and pass through the placenta. The synovial fluid has a blood concentration of more than 50%, and the concentrations of bronchial secretions, bile and aqueous humor are low. The accumulation of drugs in the pleural fluid is slow, but it can gradually reach a level close to the blood concentration. The distribution volume is 0.26L / kg. After intramuscular injection, the blood concentration reached a peak in 1 to 2 hours, and the concentration in bile reached a peak about 6 hours after intramuscular injection.
- Glomerular filtration metabolizes drugs
- After a single administration of 7.5 mg / kg, the average peak plasma concentration is 22 g / ml, which may be lower in patients with fever or severe burns. The concentration in urine is 10 to 20 times the blood concentration. T1 / 2 adults are 2 to 4 hours, those with impaired renal function are 27 to 80 hours; premature babies are 18 hours, and term newborns are generally 6 to 8.6 hours (inversely proportional to body weight and age at birth). This product is not metabolized in the body and is mainly filtered through the glomerulus. It is excreted in about 50% within 4 hours after administration, and the concentration in urine can reach 800 g / ml. It is excreted in about 80 to 90% within 24 hours. 1%; a small amount can also be excreted in milk, blood and peritoneal dialysis can remove a considerable amount of blood from the blood, thereby greatly reducing the half-life of the drug.
Kanamycin adverse reactions
- Those with higher rates have hearing loss, tinnitus, or fullness in the ears (ototoxicity), hematuria, decreased urination or decreased urine output, decreased appetite, extreme
- Adverse reactions-erythema rash
- Degree of thirst (renal toxicity), erratic walking, dizziness (ototoxicity, affecting vestibular), nausea or vomiting (ototoxicity, affecting vestibular, renal toxicity). Less frequent cases have difficulty breathing, lethargy, or weakness (neuromuscular block, nephrotoxicity). Hearing loss, tinnitus, or fullness in the ears after discontinuation of the drug indicates that ototoxicity may be needed and attention should be paid. May have hearing and kidney damage. Can cause gastrointestinal reactions: nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, bloating, diarrhea. Occasionally allergic reactions, rashes, heat of medicine, etc. In severe cases, there may be shock death. Neurological symptoms, Myocardial depression, respiratory failure, etc.
Kanamycin allergic reaction
- Drug fever and rash are uncommon, and their incidence is between 1% and 3%; however, eosinophilia is quite common, up to 10%, especially when the course of treatment exceeds 1 week. Anaphylactic shock is occasionally seen. One case of anaphylactic shock caused by kanalomycin perforation due to ulcerative perforation was reported in China. After rescue, the patient switched to gentamicin without adverse reactions.
Kanamycin nervous system
- The most important adverse reaction in the application of this product is to affect the cochlear nerve. The patient's high-frequency hearing is damaged first, and then the hearing loss gradually develops to the ear.
- Cochlear nerve
- According to statistics: the incidence of clinical ototoxicity when treated with kanamycin is about 5%. Ototoxicity is rare in neonates and premature infants after application of kanamycin. It is reported that the commonly used adult dose (15mg / kg / day) often fails to reach effective blood concentrations in children. Therefore, it is advocated that the dosage of children should be increased to each time 10 mg / kg intramuscularly every 8 hours. Nevertheless, kanamycin should be used with caution in children. The cochlear nerve damage caused by this product can continue to develop after discontinuation of the drug. Kanamycin has greater ototoxicity than streptomycin and gentamicin, but lower than neomycin.
- It is rare for this product to cause vestibular damage during the course of treatment. This product is the same as streptomycin and neomycin. It can also block neuromuscular junctions and cause respiratory depression. It is more likely to occur in intraperitoneal administration under ether anesthesia. It also occurs after intramuscular or intravenous injection. Neuromuscular junction block can still cause
- Calcium gluconate may relieve respiratory depression
Kanamycin Urinary System
- This product can also cause kidney damage, its toxicity to the kidney is lower than neomycin but greater than streptomycin. There can be clear casts and granular casts in the urine, sometimes there are a small amount of red and white blood cells, proteinuria is occasionally seen, and most of them are transient. A few patients, especially the elderly, can develop renal dysfunction; there are also individual cases of oliguria and acute kidney Report of necrosis. The renal lesions caused by kanamycin are reversible and can be recovered quickly after stopping the treatment. In severe cases, the recovery is slower or partial.
Kanamycin digestive system
- Oral can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, even after long-term use can cause malabsorption, fat diarrhea and so on. [Others] This product has a higher incidence of local pain by intramuscular injection and is generally more tolerant. May cause leukopenia, prolonged prothrombin time, decreased fibrinogen, and hypertension. Secondary infections (caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa or other Gram-negative bacteria, drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Bacteroides, etc.) are occasionally seen.
Kanamycin contraindications
- Renal dysfunction should be used with caution.
Kanamycin
- See streptomycin sulfate. Aminoglycoside interactions:
- (1) Combined with strong diuretics (such as furosemide, itanilic acid, etc.) can strengthen ototoxicity. (2) Combined with other ototoxic drugs (such as erythromycin), the possibility of ear poisoning may be strengthened.
- (3) Combined application with cephalosporins can increase renal toxicity. Dextran can enhance the renal toxicity of this class of drugs.
- (4) Combined application with muscle relaxants or drugs with such effects (such as diazepam, etc.) can lead to enhanced neuro-muscular blockade. Neosmin
- Dextran increases or decreases the renal toxicity of this product
- (6) The antibacterial effect of penicillins on certain streptococci can be strengthened by the combination of aminoglycosides. For example, it is currently recognized that streptococcus grass green endocarditis and enterococcal infection can be added with penicillin Mycin (or other aminoglycoside). However, it is not certain whether other bacteria have synergistic effects. There are even reports of treatment failure caused by the combination of two drugs. Therefore, the combination of these two drugs must follow its indications and not be used at will.
