Abstract
Background: Urinary calculi can be caused by a variety of reasons, such as metabolic abnormalities, urinary tract infection and obstruction. Certain medications can induce urinary stone disease. Ceftriaxone, a third generation cephalosporin with broad spectrum antibiotic activity, primarily eliminated by the kidneys, has now been widely used for treatment of infection. It has been long considered safe, especially in children. However, more and more cases about ceftriaxone induced nephrolithiasis as a rare side effect have been reported.
Conclusion: This complication generally resolves spontaneously with cessation of the drug. Severe nephrolithiasis can cause post renal acute renal failure (PARF). There is limited information about how this complication develops, though high doses and extended treatment periods are generally considered to be responsible. Understanding the mechanisms would help the doctors to be aware of this rare complication and respond with proper treatment. The primary goal of this review is to discuss the possible mechanisms based on the most recent literatures.
Keywords: Ceftriaxone, hydronephrosis, mechanism, nephrolithiasis, urinary tract stones, urolithiasis.

Bioprospecting of Natural Products as Sources of New Multitarget Therapies
According to the Convention on Biological Diversity, bioprospecting is the exploration of biodiversity and indigenous knowledge to develop commercially valuable products for pharmaceutical and other applications. Bioprospecting involves searching for useful organic compounds in plants, fungi, marine organisms, and microorganisms. Natural products traditionally constituted the primary source of more than ...read more
Drugs and mitochondria
Mitochondria play a central role in the life and death of cells. They are not merely the center for energy metabolism but are also the headquarters for different catabolic and anabolic processes, calcium fluxes, and various signaling pathways. Mitochondria maintain homeostasis in the cell by interacting with reactive oxygen-nitrogen species ...read more
Mitochondria as a Therapeutic Target in Metabolic Disorders
Mitochondria are the primary site of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production in mammalian cells. Moreover, these organelles are an important source of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in virtually any nucleated cell type. The modulation of a myriad of cellular signaling pathways depends on the mitochondrial physiology. Mitochondrial dysfunction is observed ...read more
