The mechanism of intestinal absorption of an antimicrobial agent, fosfomycin (FOM), was investigated in rats using small intestinal brush-border membrane vesicles (BBMV). The uptake of [^3H]FOM by BBMV was osmolarity- and temperature-sensitive and showed apparently saturable uptake kinetics consistent with the Michaelis-Menten equation, having K_t=15.3 mM and J_<max>=7.78 nmol/30 s/mg protein at 37℃. An overshoot uptake of FOM was observed in the presence of an inwardly directed Na^+ gradient. The replacement of extravesicular Na^+ with choline or mannitol significantly reduced the uptake. An addition of a protonophore, FCCP, significantly decreased the intial uptake of FOM in the absence of Na^+ gradient but in the presence of a H^+ gradient (pH_<in>=7.5,pH_<out>=6.0), whereas in the absence of a H^+ gradient no significant difference was observed between the uptakes at an acidic pH (pH_<in>=pH_<out>=6.0) and a neutral pH (pH_<in>=pH<out>=7.5). An inside negative potassium diffusion potential induced by valinomycin enhanced significantly the uptake of FOM. The uptake of FOM in the presence of both Na^+- and H^+- gradients was significantly inhibited by phosphate, arsenate and phosphonoformic acid (PFA), which are specific inhibitors of phoshate transport, but not by D-glucose. Based on these results, it is concluded that FOM transport in the small intestine is partially shared with the Na^+-phosphate cotransport system and in part occurs via a H^+- gradient dependent carrier-mediated system.
