Pharmacokinetic interaction between theophylline and chloramphenicol in rats. 1987

M Busby, and L J Lesko

The effects of chloramphenicol, a potent enzyme inhibitor, on the pharmacokinetics of theophylline were investigated in Sprague-Dawley rats. Chloramphenicol treatment, 75 mg/day intravenously for 3 days, significantly (p less than 0.05) decreased the plasma clearance of theophylline by 31% with no apparent effects on the volume of distribution (0.97 liter/kg). The elimination half-life in chloramphenicol treated rats (N = 6) was 4.8 hr, significantly (p less than 0.05) longer than the corresponding half-life, 3.4 hr, in control rats (N = 6). It appears that chloramphenicol has a marked inhibitory effect on the activity of the cytochrome P-450-dependent mixed function oxidase liver microsome system responsible for the oxidation and demethylation of theophylline.

D002701 Chloramphenicol An antibiotic first isolated from cultures of Streptomyces venequelae in 1947 but now produced synthetically. It has a relatively simple structure and was the first broad-spectrum antibiotic to be discovered. It acts by interfering with bacterial protein synthesis and is mainly bacteriostatic.

D013806 Theophylline A methyl xanthine derivative from tea with diuretic, smooth muscle relaxant, bronchial dilation, cardiac and central nervous system stimulant activities. Theophylline inhibits the 3',5'-CYCLIC NUCLEOTIDE PHOSPHODIESTERASE that degrades CYCLIC AMP thus potentiates the actions of agents that act through ADENYLYL CYCLASES and cyclic AMP. 1,3-Dimethylxanthine,3,7-Dihydro-1,3-dimethyl-1H-purine-2,6-dione,Accurbron,Aerobin,Aerolate,Afonilum Retard,Aquaphyllin,Armophylline,Bronchoparat,Bronkodyl,Constant-T,Elixophyllin,Euphylong,Glycine Theophyllinate,Lodrane,Monospan,Nuelin,Nuelin S.A.,Quibron T-SR,Slo-Phyllin,Somophyllin-T,Sustaire,Synophylate,Theo Von Ct,Theo-24,Theo-Dur,Theobid,Theocin,Theoconfin Continuous,Theodur,Theolair,Theolix,Theon,Theonite,Theopek,Theophylline Anhydrous,Theophylline Sodium Glycinate,Theospan,Theostat,Theovent,Uniphyl,Uniphyllin,Uniphylline,1,3 Dimethylxanthine,Anhydrous, Theophylline,Constant T,ConstantT,Ct, Theo Von,Glycinate, Theophylline Sodium,Quibron T SR,Quibron TSR,Slo Phyllin,SloPhyllin,Sodium Glycinate, Theophylline,Somophyllin T,SomophyllinT,Theo 24,Theo Dur,Theo24,Theophyllinate, Glycine,Von Ct, Theo
