Abstract

Abstract Intestinal eχsorption of salicylic acid, urea and quinidine was measured during the perfusion of the rat intestinal lumen with Tyrode solution. The intestinal clearance (CLi) of the three compounds was measured by dividing the rate of appearance in the intestinal luminal perfusate by the plasma concentration of the compound. Co-administration of theophylline (0 −2 mg h−1) with the test agents increased the CLi of salicylic acid, did not alter the CLi of urea, but decreased the CLi of quinidine. The effect of theophylline on the CLi of quinidine was enhanced with increasing dose. Theophylline was found to increase microclimate-pH at the intestinal surface, but the magnitude of ΔpH alone could not explain the effect of theophylline on the CLi of quinidine. The data, together with previous observations, suggest that the intestinal eχsorption of drugs was affected by the microclimate pH and by the unstirred water layer. Theophylline affects CLi of salicylic acid and quinidine partly by increasing the microclimate pH of the intestine. Theophylline may also affect quinidine CLi by inhibiting the carrier-mediated pathway.
