Biliary Excretion of Foreign Compounds SULPHONAMIDE DRUGS IN THE RAT

1. The extent of biliary excretion in the rat of 15 sulphonamide compounds was studied. 2. Most of the sulphonamides studied, with molecular weights from 172 (sulphanilamide) to 352 (N4-acetylsulphadimethoxine) are poorly excreted in the bile (0-4% of the dose), except sulphapyridine, sulphamethoxypyridazine and sulphadimethoxine. The last three are partly metabolized to glucuronides, whose mol...
