Influence of rifamycin SV on bile acid metabolism in rats. 1980

L Okolicsanyi, and F Lirussi, and G Nassuato, and R Orlando, and R Bussolon, and G Dal Brun

Sodium cholate was infused with or without Rifamycin SV in rats in order to determine the site of interference of the drug on hepatic bile salt metabolism. Both compounds were administered at rates such as to saturate their respective maximal excretory capacities. When Rifamycin SV was given, bile acid uptake and excretion significantly decreased, with a significant reduction of the percent of conjugated bile salts in bile. Rifamycin SV neither modified bile flow nor affected the correlation between bile flow and bile salt excretion. These data suggest that the antibiotic interferes with the three main steps of hepatic bile acid metabolism. The cholestatic effect and the modification of biliary bile salt output produced by Ryfamycin SV in rats, could be of clinical relevance.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D002793 Cholic Acids The 3 alpha,7 alpha,12 alpha-trihydroxy-5 beta-cholanic acid family of bile acids in man, usually conjugated with glycine or taurine. They act as detergents to solubilize fats for intestinal absorption, are reabsorbed by the small intestine, and are used as cholagogues and choleretics. Cholalic Acids,Acids, Cholalic,Acids, Cholic
D005260 Female Females
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. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D001647 Bile Acids and Salts Steroid acids and salts. The primary bile acids are derived from cholesterol in the liver and usually conjugated with glycine or taurine. The secondary bile acids are further modified by bacteria in the intestine. They play an important role in the digestion and absorption of fat. They have also been used pharmacologically, especially in the treatment of gallstones. Bile Acid,Bile Salt,Bile Salts,Bile Acids,Acid, Bile,Acids, Bile,Salt, Bile,Salts, Bile
D012294 Rifamycins A group of ANTI-BACTERIAL AGENTS characterized by a chromophoric naphthohydroquinone group spanned by an aliphatic bridge not previously found in other known ANTI-BACTERIAL AGENTS. They have been isolated from fermentation broths of Streptomyces mediterranei. Rifamycin,Rifomycin,Rifomycins
