“Electron spray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) confirmed earlier observations that gentamicin strongly binds to L-alpha-phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2), a membrane lipid rich in arachidonic acid.”
“Peroxidation of PtdIns(4,5)P2 by ferrous ions significantly increased in the presence of gentamicin , and EI-MS measurements indicated that oxidative damage to PtdIns(4,5)P2 was accompanied by the release of arachidonic acid.”
