Binding of Sulfonamides to Erythrocyte Proteins and Possible Drug-Drug Interaction

概要

論文の詳細を見る
The mode of binding of sulfonamides to erythrocyte proteins and possible drug-drug interaction between those compounds in erythrocytes resulting in changes in tissue levels were studied in rats using zonisamide (a novel antiepileptic agent possessing a sulfonamide group), several other sulfonamides and some antiepileptics without a sulfonamide group.In Michaelis-Menten plottings, the sulfonamide was found to be concentrated into erythrocytes in vitro and in vivo in a saturable high-affinity mode and in a linear low-affinity mode at ordinary therapeutic plasma levels through a simple diffusion process. Concentration in erythrocytes was affected by the presence of albumin in the extracellular medium. The cellular sulfonamide was readily replaced by extracellular sulfonamides in vitro. Even in vivo, erythrocyte levels of zonisamide were lowered by administration of other sulfonamides, although the plasma and tissue levels were not significantly changed since the plasma and tissue compartments of zonisamide were large relative to the erythrocyte compartment at ordinary therapeutic dose levels of zonisamide in animals and man. Therefore, disposition of zonisamide was not significantly influenced by other sulfonamides, but it is suggested that drug-drug interaction affecting the tissue levels may occur for a combination of sulfonamides with extremely different affinities for erythrocytes and low therapeutic plasma levels.
