Effect of dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate and poloxamer 188 on dissolution and intestinal absorption of sulfadiazine and sulfisoxazole in rats.

The influence of two medicinal surfactants, poloxamer 188 and dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate, on the dissolution of sulfisoxazole and sulfadiazine was investigated. A dramatic increase in the dissolution rate was observed at all surfactant concentrations. Drug absorption from the rat small intestine was also studied, and a significant but less dramatic increase was noted. Dissolution rate and absorption could be correlated only qualitatively. The two surfactants had no effect on the amount of sulfisoxazole excreted by the rat in 24 hr.

Vitamin-A-dependent zinc-binding protein and intestinal absorption of Zn in chicks.

It was demonstrated that the development of experimental avitaminosis A in chicks led to secondary zinc deficiency. The balance of Zn in the chick became negative, while the Zn content of various tissues decreased. Thus in vitamin-A-deficient chicks the serum Zn content was 1258 (SD 26.3) micrograms/l which was considerably lower than 1652 (SD 97.8) micrograms/l in controls. Zn absorption was considerably reduced throughout the entire small intestine of vitamin-A-deficient chicks and most markedly in the ileal region. Within 72 h after retinyl acetate administration Zn absorption was fully restored in this region of the intestine. The 65Zn-binding capacity of soluble proteins, present in the supernatant fraction of ileal-mucosa homogenates of vitamin-A-deficient chicks, was found to increase 2.6 times by 72 h after the administration of a single dose of retinyl acetate. A vitamin-A-dependent Zn-binding protein (ZnBP), absent in vitamin-A-deficient chicks, was isolated from the ileal mucosa after their repletion with vitamin A. Competitive-binding studies (calcium, cadmium, copper) showed the protein to be highly specific for Zn ions. The molecular weight of ZnBP was 83 kDa. The association constant of the protein-Zn complex was 0.8 X 10(6)/mol. The protein was acidic with approximately 20% of its amino acid residues belonging to dicarboxylic acids. ZnBP was found to be a glycoprotein, and it contained hexose as a carbohydrate component. It is suggested that ZnBP is involved in the binding of Zn in the ileal mucosa of chicks.

The influence of intestinal absorption of an amino acid on the subsequent absorption of the same amino acid.

Cysteine absorption was determined in an intestinal segment "in situ" in the rat under general anaesthesia, perfusing the segment twice for 30 minutes, at one hour interval, with the same amount of cysteine dissolved in a 0.85% NaCl solution. At the second perfusion, absorption of the amino acid was about half that at the first perfusion. As the first perfusion reduces absorption even in a segment not previously perfused, and intraperitoneal injection of cysteine does not influence absorption, it is postulated that an inhibitory factor, released from the intestinal wall, intervenes by humoral route in the regulating mechanism of the absorption of amino acids.
