- Abstract:
- Aminoglycoside antibiotics remain indispensable despite their ototoxicity. Like other sensorineural forms, aminoglycoside-induced hearing loss (AGIHL) has no effective pharmacotherapy. Oxidative stress, apoptosis, excitotoxicity and inflammation are key pathological factors of the disease. We hypothesised that selegiline, an irreversible monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B) inhibitor used in Parkinson's disease, could be repurposed as an otoprotective agent against AGIHL and its effect on dopamine (DA) release from lateral olivocochlear (LOC) fibres, the efferent division of a protective feedback loop plays a major role in the protection against excitotoxicity. Selegiline mitigated AGIHL in BALB/c mice in a dose-dependent manner at different auditory brainstem response frequencies, including 16 kHz, the hearing sensitivity optimum of the animals. It also enhanced the action potential-evoked DA release from LOC efferents in mouse cochlear preparation dose-dependently. Inhibition of DA reuptake contributed to its basic effect of saving DA from metabolism. Among four selegiline analogues tested, the one that increased LOC DA release also provided otoprotection. In contrast, neither safinamide (a reversible MAO-B inhibitor) nor LJP-1207 (a selective semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase/vascular-adhesion protein 1 (SSAO/VAP1) inhibitor) prevented AGIHL, despite their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The reversibility or lack of MAO-B inhibition in safinamide and LJP-1207, respectively, as well as the absence of the propargylamine moiety with known intrinsic neuroprotective activity in both molecules, may explain their ineffectiveness. Selegiline, or certain propargylamine analogues of it, offer a promising therapy against AGIHL by addressing its multifactorial pathology through antioxidant, antiapoptotic, neuroprotective, and anti-inflammatory actions, while enhancing endogenous DAergic protective mechanisms.
