Amikacin hydrate is an aminoglycoside antibiotic[1]. Amikacin hydrate is used to treat a variety of infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria[2]. Amikacin hydrate can enter bacterial cells and bind to their ribosomes. By interfering with bacterial protein synthesis, it prevents normal bacterial growth and reproduction, thereby exerting its antibacterial effects [3]. Amikacin hydrate is widely used in the treatment of complex urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, and sepsis[4].
In vitro, Amikacin hydrate (0.003 - 25mg/mL) treatment of equine joint cells (including chondrocytes, synovial cells, adipose-derived and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells) induces rapid cell death within 1 hour in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, the cytotoxicity of Amikacin hydrate is not mitigated by the presence of synovial fluid[5]. Amikacin hydrate (32mg/L) alone or in combination with 2mg/L Colistin can effectively kill bacteria within biofilms of mature Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PAO1 and CRPAO1) treatment for 24 hours[6].
In vivo, Amikacin hydrate (15mg/kg) combined with Imipenem (40mg/kg) administered intraperitoneally every 8 hours is used to treat mice infected with drug-resistant Escherichia coli. The combination of Amikacin hydrate and Imipenem significantly reduces the bacterial count in the blood of mice[7]. Amikacin hydrate (7.5mg/kg; every 12 hours) combined with Meropenem (200mg/kg; every 8 hours) administered intraperitoneally to mice infected with carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE). Compared to Meropenem monotherapy, the combination therapy significantly reduces bacterial density in the thigh muscles of mice and increases survival rates[8].

Amikacin hydrate是一种氨基糖苷类抗生素[1]。Amikacin hydrate被应用于治疗多种由革兰氏阴性菌引起的感染[2]。Amikacin hydrate能够进入细菌细胞内，与细菌的核糖体结合。通过干扰细菌的蛋白质合成过程，阻止细菌正常生长和繁殖，从而发挥抗菌作用[3]。Amikacin hydrate常被用于治疗复杂性尿路感染、呼吸道感染以及败血症等疾病[4]。
在体外，Amikacin hydrate（0.003 - 25mg/mL）处理马的关节细胞（包括软骨细胞、滑膜细胞、脂肪源性和骨髓源性间充质干细胞）1小时内，Amikacin hydrate快速诱导细胞死亡，且这种细胞毒性作用以Amikacin hydrate剂量依赖的方式发生。此外，Amikacin hydrate的细胞毒性作用不会因滑膜液的存在而减轻[5]。Amikacin hydrate（32mg/L）单独或与2mg/L的Colistin联合处理铜绿假单胞菌（PAO1和CRPAO1）生物膜24小时，能够有效杀灭生物膜内的细菌[6]。
在体内，Amikacin hydrate（15mg/kg）联合Imipenem（40mg/kg）每8小时腹腔注射一次，用于处理感染耐药大肠杆菌的小鼠。Amikacin hydrate联合Imipenem显著减少了小鼠血液中的细菌数量[7]。Amikacin hydrate（7.5mg/kg；每12小时一次）联合Meropenem（200mg/kg；每8小时一次）腹腔注射处理感染了碳青霉烯类耐药肠杆菌科细菌（CRE）的小鼠。与单独使用Meropenem相比，联合治疗显著降低了小鼠大腿肌肉中的细菌密度，并提高了生存率[8]。
