Effects of penicillins on binding of phenytoin to plasma proteins in vitro and in vivo. 1984

K Arimori, and M Nakano, and M Otagiri, and K Uekama

Effects of penicillins on the binding of phenytoin to plasma proteins were examined in vitro and in vivo. The results from in vitro studies showed that the penicillins including oxacillin and dicloxacillin were effective in displacing phenytoin from its binding sites. In vivo, the total phenytoin concentration in serum decreased during penicillin administration, while the free phenytoin concentration increased. As a result, penicillins caused a significant increase in the apparent volume of distribution and in the total body clearance of phenytoin. These results can be explained on the basis of the displacement of phenytoin from its plasma protein binding site by penicillins.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D010406 Penicillins A group of antibiotics that contain 6-aminopenicillanic acid with a side chain attached to the 6-amino group. The penicillin nucleus is the chief structural requirement for biological activity. The side-chain structure determines many of the antibacterial and pharmacological characteristics. (Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 8th ed, p1065) Antibiotics, Penicillin,Penicillin,Penicillin Antibiotics
D010672 Phenytoin An anticonvulsant that is used to treat a wide variety of seizures. It is also an anti-arrhythmic and a muscle relaxant. The mechanism of therapeutic action is not clear, although several cellular actions have been described including effects on ion channels, active transport, and general membrane stabilization. The mechanism of its muscle relaxant effect appears to involve a reduction in the sensitivity of muscle spindles to stretch. Phenytoin has been proposed for several other therapeutic uses, but its use has been limited by its many adverse effects and interactions with other drugs.

D011485 Protein Binding The process in which substances, either endogenous or exogenous, bind to proteins, peptides, enzymes, protein precursors, or allied compounds. Specific protein-binding measures are often used as assays in diagnostic assessments. Plasma Protein Binding Capacity,Binding, Protein
D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.
