Aminoglycosides Antibiotics - Global Industry Market Analysis Report 2020-2031

Aminoglycoside antibiotics are a class of broad-spectrum antibacterial drugs composed of amino sugars and glycosidic bonds. They mainly exert their bactericidal effects by interfering with bacterial protein synthesis. Their molecular structure usually contains multiple amino and hydroxyl groups, which make them positively charged and can bind to the 30S subunit of bacterial ribosomes, blocking the mRNA translation process, leading to the production of erroneous proteins or translation termination. This type of antibiotic has strong activity against aerobic Gram-negative bacteria (such as Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and some Gram-positive bacteria (such as Staphylococcus aureus), and is often used clinically to treat severe infections such as sepsis, pneumonia and urinary tract infections. Common aminoglycoside drugs include gentamicin, tobramycin, amikacin and streptomycin.

The unique advantage of aminoglycoside antibiotics lies in their rapid bactericidal ability and effectiveness against multi-drug resistant bacteria. Because their mechanism of action directly destroys the life process of bacteria, it is difficult for bacteria to develop resistance through a single gene mutation. Therefore, they are often used as a combination therapy option when fighting super bacteria such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) or carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE). In addition, these drugs can still remain active in acidic or hypoxic environments and are suitable for treating complex infections such as abdominal infections or tuberculosis (streptomycin was used for this in the early days). Their pharmacokinetic properties also support their clinical application. For example, they can quickly reach high blood drug concentrations when administered by intravenous or intramuscular injection, and have strong tissue penetration ability, especially in the treatment of osteomyelitis or lung infections. However, the use of aminoglycoside antibiotics is limited by toxic side effects. The most significant adverse reactions are ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity, because they accumulate in the cochlear and renal tubular cells, which may cause hearing loss, tinnitus, or renal damage. For example, long-term use of gentamicin may cause irreversible inner ear damage, with an incidence rate of between 5-10%. In addition, this type of drug is ineffective against anaerobic bacteria and intracellular bacteria (such as Salmonella) because its action depends on the aerobic metabolism and active uptake mechanism of bacteria. At the same time, with the abuse of antibiotics, the phenomenon of bacteria resisting drugs by producing aminoglycoside modifying enzymes (such as acetyltransferases and phosphotransferases) is becoming more and more common, especially in the hospital environment. The spread of drug-resistant strains has increased the difficulty of treatment.

From the perspective of clinical management, the use of aminoglycoside antibiotics needs to be precisely controlled. To reduce toxicity, a single-day dosing (ODD) strategy is usually adopted, taking advantage of its concentration-dependent bactericidal properties, reaching a peak concentration in a short time and then quickly clearing it, reducing the risk of tissue accumulation. At the same time, blood drug concentration monitoring (TDM) is standard practice to ensure that the dose is within the therapeutic window (for example, tobramycin peak concentration 10-12 μg/mL, trough concentration<2 μg/mL) to balance efficacy and safety. In addition, combination therapy (such as synergistic with β-lactam antibiotics) can enhance the antibacterial spectrum and reduce drug resistance. For example, it is often used with ceftazidime in the treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections.

Despite the challenges, aminoglycoside antibiotics remain indispensable in modern medicine. With the development of new derivatives (such as pramixin) and improvements in drug delivery technology (such as local nebulization inhalation for the treatment of lung infections), their application scenarios are expanding. For example, amikacin is often used in intensive care units (ICUs) due to its high sensitivity to drug-resistant strains. In the future, the problems of drug resistance and toxicity may be further overcome through the combined use of nanodelivery systems or enzyme inhibitors. Overall, aminoglycoside antibiotics continue to play a key role in anti-infective treatment with their potent bactericidal effects and specific indications, providing important support, especially in responding to the global drug resistance crisis.
