Description of Streptomycin

Streptomycin is an effective antibiotic against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is used in the study of tuberculosis (TB)[1]. Streptomycin acts as a protein synthesis inhibitor, binding irreversibly to the small 16S rRNA of the 30S ribosomal subunit, interfering with protein synthesis [2]. Streptomycin originally had broad Gram-negative and Gram-positive coverage, but its spectrum of activity has been significantly narrowed due to antibiotic resistance [3]. Streptomycin is an aminoglycoside antibacterial drug with poor oral absorption and can be administered intramuscularly or intravenously [4].

In vitro, treatment of guinea pig ventricular myocytes with streptomycin (40 μM) for 2 min significantly inhibited the stretch-induced increase in Ca2+. The decrease in Ca2+ occurred 18 seconds after the application of streptomycin (n=13 cells). In all cells, the decrease in Ca2+ occurred in less than 60 seconds, indicating that streptomycin has a calcium homeostatic effect on cardiomyocytes [5]. Streptomycin (5, 50μg/ml) can effectively inhibit the survival and proliferation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in human macrophages infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis[6].

In vivo, Streptomycin (50-100 mg/kg) was used to treat mice infected with Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) by intramuscular injection for 4 weeks, which significantly reduced the MAC bacterial load in the spleen and liver, and showed partial protection in histopathological examination, but did not completely eliminate the infection. The liposome encapsulation effect of Streptomycin was better than that of the free form[7].

Protocol of Streptomycin

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

Guinea pig ventricular myocytes

Preparation Method

Ventricular myocytes were treated with 40µM Streptomycin for 2 minutes to apply mechanical stretch to the cells to simulate the mechanical stress during cardiac contraction and relaxation. Changes in intracellular Ca2+ concentration were recorded at different time points.

Reaction Conditions

40μM; 2min

Applications

Application of streptomycin to this sensitive cell rapidly reversed the increase in Ca2+. The decrease in Ca2+ occurred 18 seconds after application of streptomycin (n = 13 cells). In all cells, the decrease in Ca2+ occurred in less than 60 seconds.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Beige mice

Preparation Method

Beige mice were injected with Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) suspension via the tail vein to establish a systemic infection model. Two doses(50-100 mg/kg) of free streptomycin, were given daily intramuscularly (im), five days a week for four weeks. In comparison, the drug encapsulated in large multilaminar liposomes was investigated at 5, 10 and15 mg/kb dose and administered iv only in two doses at day 1 and day 7 following the infection. Control groups received buffer, buffer-loaded d vesicles or free streptomycin given iv (15 mg/kg) every week for the four week durat tion.

Dosage form

100mg/kg; i.m.

Applications

Streptomycin exhibits significant antibacterial effects against MAC infection in beige mice, with liposome-encapsulated Streptomycin being more effective in reducing bacterial load and tissue lesions.
