title: Effect of sodium salicylate on renal elimination of a quaternary ammonium compound.
abstract: Administration of sodium salicylate inhibited elimination of the tetraethylammonium ion in rats. A two-compartment open model was used to describe plasma decline of tetraethylammonium bromide administered intravenously. The rate constant describing elimination from the central compartment was decreased by 25 and 40% in rats predosed with sodium salicylate at 30 and 50 mg/kg, respectively. Salicylate also enhanced the distribution of the tetraethylammonium ion to the peripheral compartment. Urinary excretion is the principal route of elimination for the tetraethylammonium ion, and studies of the effect of sodium salicylate on the uptake of the tetraethylammonium ion by rat renal cortical tissue indicated noncompetitive inhibition by salicylate.
