The Effect of Drugs on Bile Flow and Composition

Abstract: Many drugs are eliminated via the hepatobiliary route, after biotransformation in the liver. Some of them may affect bile flow and/or the hepatic secretion of biliary lipids such as bile acids, cholesterol and phospholipids. Bile acids are the most potent agents which increase bile flow, especially unconjugated bile acids. Other drugs which increase bile flow include phenobarbitone (phenobarbital), theophylline, glucagon and insulin. In contrast, ethacrynic acid, amiloride, ouabain, oestrogens and chlorpromazi… Show more

“…Several reviews have dealt with the hepatic elimination of drugs and their role in bile formation and cholestasis (Klaassen and Watkins 1984;Okolicsanyi et al 1986;Meijer 1987;Schwenk 1987;Kukongviriyapan and Stacey 1991 ;Meijer and Groothuis 1991). Comparative aspects on various subjects, for example, elimination kinetics (Saville et al 1992), biliary elimination and enterohepatic circulation (Smith 1966(Smith , 1971Levine 1981;Pond and Tozer 1984) and cell models (Blom et al 1982) have been considered by others.…”

“…UDCA shows hepatoprotective effects and is currently used clinically in the treatment of a variety of liver disorders [7,8]. In addition, it possesses potent choleretic properties in man and animals [9] and has been employed for the dissolution of gallstones [10]. Although there is some indication that UDCA may alleviate some SBS symptoms [11], the capacity of UDCA to promote specifically the process of intestinal adaptation after intestinal resection has not been investigated.…”

“…not unexpected, as the liver is the primary site of cholesterol synthesis and the primary site of drug delivery for HMGRI (1) including AT (3,17). Although transient increases in ALT and AST were described for lovastatin in dogs (up to 180 mg/kg/day) (11) and monkeys (800 mg/kg for 7 days) (12) and for simvastatin (8) (14,17). Hyperplasia and/or inflammation of gallbladder have been described in dogs given other HMGRIs (2,6).…”
