Endotoxin and pharmacokinetics of rifampicin. 1985

J Lavický, and L Celeda, and Z Urbanová, and J Kvĕtina, and J Vanĕcek, and H Rasková

Changes of pharmacokinetics of rifampicin (20 mg . kg-1 orally) were seen in rabbits pretreated with 0.02, 0.2 and 2.0 micrograms . kg-1 of endotoxin S. typhimurium given intravenously. The animals served as their own controls. The two higher endotoxin doses induced significantly lower plasma levels and changes in the absorption and elimination phase. After the lowest endotoxin dose the results were variable. Tolerance to pyrogenicity of endotoxin, produced by daily toxin administration abolished the otherwise induced changes in rifampicin pharmacokinetics.

D003967 Diarrhea An increased liquidity or decreased consistency of FECES, such as running stool. Fecal consistency is related to the ratio of water-holding capacity of insoluble solids to total water, rather than the amount of water present. Diarrhea is not hyperdefecation or increased fecal weight. Diarrheas
D004731 Endotoxins Toxins closely associated with the living cytoplasm or cell wall of certain microorganisms, which do not readily diffuse into the culture medium, but are released upon lysis of the cells. Endotoxin
D005334 Fever An abnormal elevation of body temperature, usually as a result of a pathologic process. Pyrexia,Fevers,Pyrexias
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012293 Rifampin A semisynthetic antibiotic produced from Streptomyces mediterranei. It has a broad antibacterial spectrum, including activity against several forms of Mycobacterium. In susceptible organisms it inhibits DNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity by forming a stable complex with the enzyme. It thus suppresses the initiation of RNA synthesis. Rifampin is bactericidal, and acts on both intracellular and extracellular organisms. (From Gilman et al., Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 9th ed, p1160) Rifampicin,Benemycin,Rifadin,Rimactan,Rimactane,Tubocin
