BACKGROUND: Cisplatin is a chemotherapy drug that can induce sensorineural hearing loss. At present, no otoprotective agent is approved for use.
OBJECTIVES: This study investigated the optimal concentration of intratympanic N-acetylcysteine (NAC) to prevent cisplatin-induced ototoxicity in a guinea pig model.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Guinea pigs (n = 64) were treated with a single intratympanic injection containing different NAC concentrations or saline (control) 3 days prior to intraperitoneal injection with cisplatin. The threshold change in the auditory brainstem response was assessed.
RESULTS: Four weeks after intraperitoneal cisplatin injection, only the group that received 2% NAC exhibited significant otoprotection (p < .05) compared with the control. Otoprotection was observed at all the frequencies tested (1k, 2k, 4k, and 8k Hz). The 2% NAC group also exhibited significant otoprotection (p < .05) compared with the other NAC groups (at 1k, 2k, 4k, and 8k Hz). The 4% NAC group exhibited significantly reduced hearing capacity (p < .05) in the fourth week compared with controls.
CONCLUSIONS AND SIGNIFICANCE: Intratympanic NAC administration is an efficient and safe means of preventing cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. In our animal model, the optimal intratympanic NAC concentration was 2%; concentrations of 4% loss of otoprotection.
