Abstract
Purpose: This paper aims to review clinical and preclinical evidence regarding new strategies
for the prevention of vancomycin-induced nephrotoxicity.
Methods: Evidence from 2014 to the end of 2019 was included. Twelve animal studies and one clinical
trial were evaluated.
Results: Although the incidence of vancomycin-induced nephrotoxicity was not reduced significantly
in the clinical trial, antioxidants reduced the incidence of vancomycin-induced nephrotoxicity in preclinical
studies.
Conclusion: Antioxidants including vitamin C, vitamin E, cilastatin, melatonin, zingerone, rutin,
naringenin, saffron, silymarin, and dexmedetomidine were nephroprotective against vancomycininduced
nephrotoxicity in preclinical studies. The nephroprotective effects of these antioxidants must
be confirmed before routine use in clinical practice.
