THE INHIBITORY EFFECT OF CARONAMIDE ON THE RENAL ELIMINATION OF PENICILLIN

Abstract
Caronamide decreased the tubular excretion and increased the plasma concn. of penicillin G, K, F and X. Its mode of action is to halt the tubular transport mechanism for penicillin excretion. This effect was reversible and the function of the system returned to normal after admn. of the compd. was stopped. It was effective when administered orally or parenterally and when penicillin was administered by the same or a different route. The essential points in this report have been substantiated clinically.
