The influence of (3H)taurocholate on the biliary excretion of (14C)acetylprocaine amide ethobromide.
The biliary excretion rates of [14C]acetylprocaine amide ethobromide (acetyl-PAEB) and [3H]taurocholate, either administered alone or in combination to adult male Wistar rats, were studied. Their renal pedicles were ligated, and the common bile duct and one jugular vein cannulated. Acetyl-PAEB, 20 mg/kg, and sodium taurocholate, 70 mg/kg, were infused over a 5-min period. Blood and bile samples were collected every 10 min for 60 min. Liver samples were taken at 10 and 20 min. Approximately 100% of the administered taurocholate was excreted within 50 min. The simultaneous administration of acetyl-PAEB did not significantly alter the taurocholate excretion. The amount of the acetyl-PAEB dose excreted in 1 h was 9.4%. This was increased significantly to 16.5% when taurocholate was given concomitantly. The concentration of acetyl-PAEB in the bile increased significantly when taurocholate was given, and the ratios of its concentrations in bile-liver and bile-plasma were also increased. Taurocholate did not alter the liver-plasma concentration ratio of acetyl-PAEB. It is suggested that the concomitant administration of taurocholate increased the biliary excretion of acetyl-PAEB by facilitating its secretion by the liver into the bile.
