1. In five healthy male volunteers given multiple doses of diflunisal (DF), renal clearances (CLR) of the acyl glucuronide (DAG), phenolic glucuronide (DPG) and sulphate (DS) conjugates were about 42, 25 and 13 ml min-1, respectively. 2. These relatively low CLR values are probably due largely to the very high plasma protein binding of the conjugates, found in vitro to be 99.0%, 97.8% and 99.45%, respectively. 3. Thus glomerular filtration plays the minor and active tubular secretion the major role in renal excretion of the three conjugates. 4. This conclusion was supported by the effect of probenecid co-administration, which decreased CLR of DAG and DPG by about 70%. CLR for DS could not be calculated when probenecid was co-administered (because of interference by probenecid metabolites in the analysis of DS in urine). 5. Water-induced diuresis had no effect on CLR of the DF conjugates, consistent with tubular reabsorption being negligible.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007678 Kidney Glomerulus A cluster of convoluted capillaries beginning at each nephric tubule in the kidney and held together by connective tissue. Glomerulus, Kidney
D007684 Kidney Tubules Long convoluted tubules in the nephrons. They collect filtrate from blood passing through the KIDNEY GLOMERULUS and process this filtrate into URINE. Each renal tubule consists of a BOWMAN CAPSULE; PROXIMAL KIDNEY TUBULE; LOOP OF HENLE; DISTAL KIDNEY TUBULE; and KIDNEY COLLECTING DUCT leading to the central cavity of the kidney (KIDNEY PELVIS) that connects to the URETER. Kidney Tubule,Tubule, Kidney,Tubules, Kidney
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D010636 Phenols Benzene derivatives that include one or more hydroxyl groups attached to the ring structure.
D011339 Probenecid The prototypical uricosuric agent. It inhibits the renal excretion of organic anions and reduces tubular reabsorption of urate. Probenecid has also been used to treat patients with renal impairment, and, because it reduces the renal tubular excretion of other drugs, has been used as an adjunct to antibacterial therapy. Benecid,Benemid,Benuryl,Pro-Cid,Probecid,Probenecid Weimer
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
