RESUMO

Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic used to treat infections of various origins. In the last few decades, the constant use of gentamicin has resulted in increased bacterial resistance and nephrotoxicity in some cases. In this study, we examined the ability of Dioclea violacea lectin (DVL) in modulate the antimicrobial activity of gentamicin and reduce the nephrotoxicity induced by this drug. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) obtained for DVL against all strains studied was not clinically relevant (MIC ≥ 1024 µg/mL). However, when DVL was combined with gentamicin, a significant increase in antibiotic action was observed against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. DVL also reduced antibiotic tolerance in S. aureus during 10 days of continuous treatment. In addition, DVL presented a nephroprotective effect, reducing sodium excretion, N-Gal expression and urinary protein, that are important markers of glomerular and tubular injuries. Taken together, studies of inhibition of hemagglutinating activity, fluorescence spectroscopy and molecular docking revealed that gentamicin can interact with DVL via the carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD), suggesting that the results obtained in this study may be directly related to the interaction of DVL-gentamicin and with the ability of the lectin to interact with glycans present in the cells of the peritoneum.
