Drug precipitation within i.v. tubing: a potential hazard of chemotherapy administration.
Cohen MH, Johnston-Early A, Hood MA, McKenzie M, Citron ML, Jaffe N, Krasnow SH.
Because relatively undiluted concentrations of drugs are maintained for prolonged periods in the Y-side arm of rapidly flowing iv infusions, we visually determined compatibilities of ten commonly used cancer chemotherapy drugs and four adjunctive drugs including droperidol, metoclopramide, furosemide, and heparin. Droperidol was found to be incompatible with furosemide, methotrexate, leucovorin, heparin, and 5-FU. Furosemide was incompatible with metoclopramide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and vinblastine in addition to droperidol. Doxorubicin was incompatible with heparin. If these drugs were administered sequentially into the Y-side arm of an iv infusion, precipitation would be expected with drug inactivation and possible drug embolization to the pulmonary circulation. Flushing the Y-side arm with a compatible solution after drug administration will prevent this problem.

The present study addresses the question of the relevance of salt intake on jejunal dopamine, Na+,K+-ATPase activity and electrolyte transport. Low salt, but not high salt, intake for 2 weeks increased dopamine levels in the jejunal mucosa accompanied by a marked decrease in L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine tissue levels. By contrast, in rats fasted for 72 h the effect of refeeding for 24 h with a low salt diet failed to change dopamine tissue levels, although it significantly increased those of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine. By contrast, high salt intake markedly increased the tissue levels of both dopamine and L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine, without changes in dopamine/L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine tissue ratios. Tissue levels of both L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine and dopamine in control conditions (normal salt intake for 2 weeks) were markedly higher (P < 0.05) than in rats submitted to 72 h fasting plus 24 h refeeding. The effect of fasting for 72 h followed by 24 h refeeding was a marked decrease in jejunal Na+,K+-ATPase activity, particularly evident for rats fed a normal salt and high salt diets during the refeeding period. Basal short circuit current was similar in rats fed a normal salt diet for 2 weeks and 24 h, and the type of diet failed to alter basal short circuit current after refeeding with normal, low and high salt diets. On the other hand, the effect of prolonged low salt intake was a marked decrease in jejunal Na+, K+-ATPase activity and basal short circuit current, whereas high salt intake failed to alter enzyme activity and basal short circuit current. In rats fed for 2 weeks a high salt diet ouabain was found to be more potent in reducing jejunal short circuit current than in rats fed normal and low salt diets. The effect of furosemide was more marked in rats fed for 2 weeks high and low salt diets than in animals receiving a normal salt intake. Dopamine (up to 1 micromol L-1) was found not to alter Na+,K+-ATPase and basal short circuit current in jejunal epithelial sheets, in rats fed with normal, low and high salt diets for 2 weeks and 24 h.

Anion specificity of the jejunal folate carrier: effects of reduced folate analogues on folate uptake and efflux.

We previously reported that 3H-folate uptake by rabbit jejunal brush-border membrane (BBM) vesicles was markedly stimulated by an outwardly directed OH- gradient (pHin 7.7, pHout 5.5), inhibited by anion exchange inhibitors (DIDS, SITS, furosemide), and saturable (folate Km = 0.19 microM) suggesting carrier-mediated folate/OH- exchange (or H+/folate cotransport). In the present study, the anion specificity of this transport process was examined. Under conditions of an outwardly directed OH- gradient, DIDS-sensitive folate uptake was cis inhibited (greater than 90%) by reduced folate analogues: dihydrofolate (IC50 = 0.40 microM), folinic acid (IC50 = 0.50 microM), 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (IC50 = 0.53 microM), and (+)amethopterin (IC50 = 0.93 microM). In contrast, 10 microM (-)amethopterin had only a modest effect on folate uptake (18% inhibition) suggesting stereospecificity of the folate/OH- exchanger. The nonpteridine compounds which are transported by the folate carrier in L1210 leukemic cells (phthalate, thiamine pyrophosphate, and PO4(-3] did not inhibit jejunal folate uptake. Furthermore, folate uptake was not inhibited by SO4(-2) (4 mM) or oxalate (4 mM) thereby distinguishing this carrier from the previously described intestinal SO4(-2)/OH- and oxalate/Cl- exchangers. After BBM vesicles were loaded with 3H-folate, the initial velocity of 3H-folate efflux was stimulated by unlabeled folate in the efflux medium. The transstimulation of 3H-folate efflux by unlabeled folate was furosemide (or DIDS) inhibitable and temperature sensitive. Half-maximal stimulation of furosemide-sensitive 3H-folate efflux was observed with 0.25 +/- 0.05 microM unlabeled folate, a concentration similar to the Km for folate uptake. These data suggest that folate-stimulated 3H-folate efflux is mediated by the folate/OH- exchanger.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
