Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Aminocephalosporins with peptide-like structures have been shown to be absorbed by the intestinal peptide carrier. We investigated the transport mechanism of cefdinir, an oral monocarboxylic acid cephalosporin, using rabbit small intestinal brush-border membrane vesicles. Transport of cefdinir showed a slow and almost linear uptake rate for concentrations up to 30 mM with and without and inward H+ gradient. No overshoot phenomenon was observed in the presence of an inward H+ gradient. The uptake rate increased only slightly with decreasing extravesicular pH, and a protonophore had little effect on the uptake. Aminocephalosporins such as cephalexin only slightly inhibited cefdinir uptake even in the presence of an inward H+ gradient, and vice-versa. Monocarboxylic acids such as acetic acid and salicylic acid had little effect on cefdinir uptake. These findings suggest that in contrast with other oral cephalosporins cefdinir uptake through the brush-border membrane is slow and involves a mechanism similar to passive diffusion.
