Effect of MDL72527 on renal function after endotoxin-induced AKI. The effect of PAO inhibition on the renal function of animals was determined 24 h post-LPS administration by measuring their serum creatinine levels. Animals given intraperitoneal injection of LPS or saline were treated with 100 mg/kg MDL72527 or vehicle (n = 8/group). Serum creatinine levels of saline-injected animals treated with MDL72527 or vehicle were not significantly different (P ≥ 0.05). Animals given intraperitoneal LPS injection and then treated with MDL72527 had significantly (*P ≤ 0.05) lower serum creatinine levels than LPS-treated animals receiving vehicle. Serum creatinine levels of the LPS-treated mice were significantly (+P ≤ 0.01) higher than those of saline-treated animals.
