The effects of organic acidic drugs on the absorption, excretion and diuretic action of furosemide were studied. Cefalexin, p-aminohippuric acid (PAH), ibuprofen and p-amino salicylic acid (PAS) were selected as organic acidic drugs. The in situ absorption rate and absorption rate constant of furosemide (30$\mu{M}$) were significantly (p<0.05) decreased by 30$\mu{M}$ of cefalexin, PAH, ibuprofen and PAS in rat small intestine. The plasma concentration of furosemide was significantly (p<0.01) increased by cefalexin, PAH and ibuprofen in rabbits. But the urinary excretion rate, renal clearance and diuretic action of furosemide were significantly (p<0.05) decreased by cefalexin, PAH, ibuprofen and PAS in rabbits.

The effects of anions on net accumulation of $(\rho-aminohippuric\;acid)$(PAH) were studied in rabbit kidney cortical slices. Experiments were carried while varying the major anionic composition of the incubation medium(replacement of $Cl^-$ by isethionate and $SCN^-$). The total replacement of $Cl^-$ with isethionate, $SO_4\;^{2-}$ and $SCN^-$ in the incubation medium decreased the 60-min slice-to-medium concentration(S/M) ratio of PAH to 60%, 40% and 50% of control value, respectively. The degree of inhibition in PAH accumulation by the replacement of isethionate and $SCN^-$ was increased with increasing of both preincubation and incubation time. The influence of isethionate and $SCN^-$ on PAH uptake was fully reversible. Both isethionate and $SCN^-$ increased the apparent Km value significantly with no change on the apparent Vmax value, suggesting a competitive inhibition on PAH uptake. And the inhibitory effect of $SCN^-$ on PAH uptake decreased with increase of pH in the incubation medium while that of isethionate increased with increase of pH. Intracellular water content, intracellular electrolyte concentration and oxygen consumption were not influenced by the replacement of $Cl^-$ with isethionate or $SCN^-$ in the incubation medium. These results suggest that both $isethionate^-$ and $SCN^-$ inhibit the PAH uptake by binding to some site necessary for normal PAH transport without affecting the cellular viability.

가토 신피질에서 분리한 brush border membrane (BBM)과 basolateral membrane vesicle (BLM)에서 유기 음이온인 p-aminohippuric acid (PAH)와 유기 양이온인 tetraethylammonium (TEA)의 이동에 대한 동력학적 분석을 하였다. BLM에서 PAH에 대한 Km과 Vmax값은 각각 $0.34{\pm}0.02\;mM$과 $0.22{\pm}0.07\;nmol/mg\;protein/20s$였으며 BBM에서 각 값은 $8.46{\pm}0.57\;mM$과 $4.43{\pm}0.40\;nmol/mg\;protein/20s$였다. BLM에서 용액내 Na의 제거는 PAH에 대한 Km 값에는 영향없이 Vmax 값을 변화시켰다. BBM에서 TEA이동에 대한 Km과 Vmax 값은 각각 $0.55{\pm}0.15\;mM$과 $1.04{\pm}0.23\;nmol/mg\;protein/20s$였으며 BLM에서 각 값은 $0.46{\pm}0.04\;mM$과 $0.61{\pm}0.06\;nmol/mg\;protein/20s$였다. BLM에서 측정한 유기 이온들의 이동에 대한 Km 값이 신절편이나 분리된 tubule에서 보고된 값과 일치함을 보였으며 이러한 결과는 신세뇨관 세포막을 통한 유기 이온들의 이동 특성이 membrane vesicle을 분리하는 과정에서 변하지 않았음을 가르킨다.

The characteristics of probenecid effect on renal urate excretion in the cat were studied by clearance method and compared with those in the rabbit. In the cat GFR was $3.03{\pm}0.09\;ml/min{\cdot}kg$, and endogenous plasma urate concentration was $1.12{\pm}0.57\;{\mu}g/ml$, which is less than that in the rabbit $(3.33{\pm}0.46\;{\mu}g/ml)$. In the rabbit, $FE_{ur}$ was $1.76{\pm}0.08$ and net urate secretion was observed, while, in the cat $FE_{ur}$ was $0.70{\pm}0.02$ and net reabsorption was observed. In the cat $FE_{ur}$ was dependent on urine flow and independent of plasma urate concentration. In the rabbit $FE_{ur}$ was suppressed by infusion of probenecid $(30\;mg/kg\;-0.6\;mg/kg{\cdot}min)$ into femoral vein. In the cat the same dose of probenecid increased $FE_{ur}$ and concomitantly increased urine flow. Thus, an increase in $FE_{ur}$ by probenecid could be considered to be resulted from a change in urine flow. In the cat infusion of probenecid $(2.5\;mg/kg{\cdot}min)$ into renal artery markedly suppressed $FE_{P\;A\;H}$, but the effects on $FE_{ur}$ and urine flow were similar to those when probenecid was infused into femoral vein. These results indicate that in the cat kidney urate filtered through glomerulus is reabsorbed by a probenecid-insensitive mechanism with no evidence for net secretion.

Phytolaccae Radix (PR), Brunella Herba (BH), Akebiae Lignum (AL) and Atractylis Rhizoma (AR) are some of the diuretic agents used in Chinese medicine and folk remedy. Water or methanol extracts of them (100mg/kg) were intravenously injected to rabbits in order to re-evaluate the effects on renal function. PR water extract elicited moderate diuresis while water extracts of BH, AL and methanol extract of AR had antidiuretic effects. Influence of PR on renal hemodynamics and $Na^+-K^+$-ATPase activity in rabbit kidney were observed in vivo and in vitro. The results were as follows: 1) Clearances of inulin and p-aminohippuric acid increased significantly after 15 minutes following the administration of PR water extract, but Na+ reabsorption rate was not changed. 2) The increase of $Na^+-K^+$-ATPase activity in renal cortex, outer and inner medulla was observed at 15 minutes after PR water fraction was given intravenously, and the change was most prominent in cortical area. 3) More than 50% of decrease in $Na^+-K^+$-ATPase activity in renal tissues was observed with PR water fraction $(10^{-2}g/ml)$ in vitro experiments. However, the inhibition of $Na^+-K^+$-ATPase activity was reversed with lower concentrations $(10^{-4}g/ml,\;10^{-6}g/ml)$ of PR water fraction in outer and inner medullary zone. These results suggest the diuretic effect of PR is due to improved renal hemodynamics, and contradictory reults concerning $Na^+-K^+$-ATPase activity require further investigation.
