Summary
The effect of antibiotics, on the albumin binding capacity was studied by adding various concentrations of each drug in a standard solution of crystalline human serum albumin 4 g/ 100 ml, according to method of Porter & Waters (8). We found significant depression (above 25 %) of binding capacity of the albumin after addition of the following drugs in concentrations reaching therapeutical blood levels: Novobiocin and Sulfonamides (Elkosin, Sulfexin, Gantrisin).
Moderate depression (11‐25 %) was observed with the following drugs: Oxacillin, Ce‐phalothin and Rifamycin.
Little or no decrease of the albumin binding capacity was found after the addition of the following drugs: Penicillin, Penetracin, Methi‐cillin (Staphcillin, Celbenin) Ampicillin, (Pen‐trexyl, Penbritin), Cloxacillin, Lincomycin, Cephaloridin, Streptomycin, Colimycin, Chloramphenicol succinate, Erythromycin, Tetra‐cyclin hydrochloride, Pyrolidynomethyl‐tetra‐cyclin and Oxytetracyclin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
