Inhibition of biliary cholesterol and phospholipid secretion by cefmetazole. The role of vesicular transport and of canalicular events

Abstract: A number of organic anions selectively inhibit the biliary secretion of cholesterol and phospholipids without affecting bile acid secretion. We studied the effect of cefmetazole, a third-generation cephalosporin, on biliary lipid secretion in the rat. Injection of cefmetazole at a dose of 200,mol/kg body wt. induced a choleretic effect and a significant decrease in the biliary output of cholesterol and phospholipid, without changes in bile acid secretion. The decrease was more marked for cholesterol than for p… Show more

“…Studies with different species have shown that cholesterol and phospholipid biliary outputs increase in proportion to the increases in biliary bile acid secretion brought about by bile acid loads, 33,34 suggesting that biliary lipid secretion is tightly coupled to biliary secretion of bile acids. However, some organic anions, such as bilirubin, 12 certain antibiotics 13,35 , 36 and bile acid sulphates 37,38 have been reported to decrease cholesterol and phospholipid biliary excretion without affecting bile acid secretion. This uncoupling effect could be a consequence, as reported for ampicillin and bilirubin ditaurate, of aggregate formation with intracellular cholesterol and phospholipids, thereby inhibiting lipid transport from intracellular sources to bile 12,13 .…”

“…This uncoupling effect could be a consequence, as reported for ampicillin and bilirubin ditaurate, of aggregate formation with intracellular cholesterol and phospholipids, thereby inhibiting lipid transport from intracellular sources to bile. 12,13 Other drugs, such as cyclobutirol 15 or cefmetazole, 36 induce a parallel depression of both biliary lipids and enzymes of the plasma membrane, which suggests an effect at the level of the canalicular membrane and indicates that the fusion of repair vesicles and, thus, the input of cholesterol and phospholipids to the canalicular membrane is impaired. In our experiments, piperacillin induced a marked decrease in biliary phospholipid secretion, under both basal conditions and when biliary lipid output had been previously increased by an infusion of taurocholate, and the impairment in phospholipid secretion could not be reversed by additional administration of the bile acid.…”

“…In bosentanadministered rats, the biliary output of GSH was increased, but that of phospholipids was decreased; these changes were not observed in Mrp2-deficient rats (Fouassier et al, 2002). Similar phenomena were observed in rats administered ampicillin (Verkade et al, 1990), cefmetazole (Cava et al, 1991), bromosulfophthalein, and cefpiramide (Takikawa et al, 1993), although the doses of these drugs were much higher than those used in clinical conditions.…”

“…Cefmetazole choleresis, as a doserelated phenomenon partly dependent on the osmotic properties of the compound excreted into bile, has been previously reported (Gonzhlez et al 1989;Cava et al 1991). The smaller increase in bile flow found in diabetic animals could be explained on the basis of the reduced excretion of cefmetazole, with no different choleretic capacity than the controls.…”
