The interaction of aflatoxin B1 with vitamin K, phenylbutazone, and sulfamethoxine in rats.

The interactions of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) with vitamin K, phenylbutazone, and sulfamethoxine were investigated in albino rats. Vitamin K (5 mg/kg) was able to completely suppress the increase in whole blood clotting time caused by AFB1 (25 micrograms/kg). Phenylbutazone (50 mg/kg) and sulfamethoxine (50 mg/kg) also significantly (P less than 0.05) lowered the increased clotting time caused by AFB1. Equilibrium dialysis was performed on rat plasma (4 mg/ml protein content) to investigate the displacement of AFB1 (3 micrograms) from its bound form by vitamin K (250 micrograms), phenylbutazone (2500 micrograms), and sulfamethoxine (2500 micrograms). Phenylbutazone and sulfamethoxine significantly (P less than 0.05) displaced AFB1 from rat plasma protein. Histopathological examinations performed on the liver, kidneys, and spleen of control and treated rats showed that none of the drugs used appeared to offer any significant organ protection against AFB1 except in the spleen.

Oral bioavailability of sulphamethoxydiazine, sulphathiazole and sulphamoxole in dwarf goats.

To get a better insight into the oral bioavailability of sulphonamides in ruminants, sulphamethoxydiazine (pKa 7.0), sulphathiazole (pKa 7.2), and sulphamoxole (pKa 7.4) were administered to dwarf goats (n = 5). The drugs were given at 2-week intervals by the intravenous or intraruminal route at a dose of 100 mg per kg body weight. After IV injection, the mean half-life (t1/2 beta in h +/- SEM) was 0.80 +/- 0.10 h, 2.35 +/- 0.38 h, and 3.36 +/- 1.25 h, for sulphathiazole, sulphamoxole, and sulphamethoxydiazine, respectively and the mean distribution volume (Vd beta) was 0.23 +/- 0.05 l/kg, 0.23 +/- 0.04 l/kg, and 0.33 +/- 0.02 l/kg. After intraruminal administration, the mean bioavailability varied from 86.0 +/- 11.8% for sulphamethoxydiazine to 46.6 +/- 4.3% for sulphamoxole, and 52.6 +/- 7.2% for sulphathiazole. The elimination half-life was significantly prolonged, probably due to a low rate of drug absorption from the gastrointestinal tract. In contrast to chloramphenicol, the sulphonamides studied were stable when incubated in rumen fluid at 39 degrees C.

Inhibition of cell wall synthesis by sulfonamides and trimethoprim.

The hypothesis that defective cell wall synthesis seems to represent a final common pathway of drug-induced injury either within the bacterial cell or on its surface was supported by two different findings: (1) sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim, either alone or in combination, induced morphological findings in various Escherichia coli and Proteus mirabilis strains identical to those found after incubation with so-called cell-wall-active antibiotics (e.g., penicillin) and (2) cell-wall-defective bacteria (L forms, spheroblasts) were resistant to sulfonamides and/or trimethoprim as compared to their normal bacterial cells.

Effect of trimethoprim on the occurrence of drug-resistant coliform bacteria in the faecal flora.

The occurrence of drug-resistant coliform bacteria was studied in the faecal flora of 30 persons receiving for 3 weeks either trimethoprim alone, a combination of sulphamethoxazole and trimethoprim, or a combination of sulphamethoxydiazine and sulphamethoxazole. Bacterial sensitivity was tested against trimethoprim, sulphamethoxazole-trimethoprim, sulphamethoxazole, and sulphaisodimidine. After treatment with trimethoprim alone, no increase in the occurrence of strains resistant to either trimethoprim or sulphonamides was observed. After treatment with sulphamethoxazole-trimethoprim, the faecal flora contained an increased percentage of sulphonamide-resistant coliforms but significantly less than found after treatment with sulphamethoxydiazine-sulphamethoxazole. In the persons receiving the sulphonamides only, a rapid increase in sulphonamide-resistant coliforms was observed. During the whole study, only one trimethoprim-resistant coliform strain was detected.
