Interaction between aminoglycosides (AGs) and rat renal brush-border membrane (BBM) vesicles was investigated by the aggregation technique. The order of aggregation was gentamicin greater than dibekacin not equal to netilmicin greater than amikacin, and this order corresponds to the strength of the nephrotoxicity of the aminoglycosides in vivo rather than the number of amino groups in the aminoglycosides. BBM vesicles were aggregated through ionic interaction, as evident from the finding that aggregation ceased to occur at alkaline pH. By addition of N-acetylneuraminic acid (NANA) to the incubation medium, the vesicle aggregation induced by gentamicin was significantly inhibited. To affect the liberation of the NANA residue from BBM vesicles, the vesicles were treated with neuraminidase, resulting in an about 60% release with a significant decrease in the uptake of gentamicin into the vesicles. The decrease in the degree of vesicle aggregation was in proportion to the amount of NANA liberated. It follows from the findings that the NANA residue may in some way be responsible for the accumulation of aminoglycosides in renal proximal tubular cells.
