The influence of ethacrynic acid, hydrochlorothiazide and clopamide on the renal excretion of chloramphenicol and its metabolites. 1978

O Schück, and H Nádvorníková, and J Grafnetterová

Simultaneous administration of chloramphenicol (1 g orally) and ethacrynic acid (150 mg orally), hydrochlorothiazide (25 mg orally) or clopamide (40 mg orally) increased the urinary excretion of chloramphenicol and its metabolites (aryl amines and total nitro compounds). The administration of diuretics did not change the time course of serum concentrations of substances under study. Since the urinary excretion of chloramphenicol and its metabolites is a urine flow-dependent process, the influence of the tested diuretics can be explained as a consequence of decreased tubular water reabsorption.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008297	Male		Males
D009574	Nitro Compounds	Compounds having the nitro group, -NO2, attached to carbon. When attached to nitrogen they are nitramines and attached to oxygen they are NITRATES.	Nitrated Compounds
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.

D003005	Clopamide	A sulfamoylbenzamide piperidine. It is considered a thiazide-like diuretic.	Brinaldix,Brinedine
D004347	Drug Interactions	The action of a drug that may affect the activity, metabolism, or toxicity of another drug.	Drug Interaction,Interaction, Drug,Interactions, Drug
D004976	Ethacrynic Acid	A compound that inhibits symport of sodium, potassium, and chloride primarily in the ascending limb of Henle, but also in the proximal and distal tubules. This pharmacological action results in excretion of these ions, increased urinary output, and reduction in extracellular fluid. This compound has been classified as a loop or high ceiling diuretic.

D006852	Hydrochlorothiazide	A thiazide diuretic often considered the prototypical member of this class. It reduces the reabsorption of electrolytes from the renal tubules. This results in increased excretion of water and electrolytes, including sodium, potassium, chloride, and magnesium. It is used in the treatment of several disorders including edema, hypertension, diabetes insipidus, and hypoparathyroidism.
