Saturation kinetics of iocetamic acid: Evaluation of indirect pharmacokinetic techniques and comparison with iopanoic acid. 1978

A E Staubus, and R N Berk, and P M Loeb, and J L Barnhart

The biliary excretion of two oral cholecystographic contrast agents, iocetamic acid and iopanoic acid, were compared during low and high taurocholate infusion rates. The pharmacokinetics of these compounds after intravenous infusion were studied in bile-fistula dogs using both indirect and direct pharmacokinetic techniques. The indirect multiple infusion technique, corrected for urinary excretion, provides a reliable estimate of the maximum biliary excretion rates of either contrast agent without necessitating the sampling of biliary output. The results indicate that taurocholate facilitates the biliary excretion of both agents. At both taurocholate infusion rates studied, the maximum biliary excretion rate of iocetamic acid is greater than that of iopanoic acid.

D013656	Taurocholic Acid	The product of conjugation of cholic acid with taurine. Its sodium salt is the chief ingredient of the bile of carnivorous animals. It acts as a detergent to solubilize fats for absorption and is itself absorbed. It is used as a cholagogue and cholerectic.
