The effects of antibiotics and uricosuric drugs on the renal elimination of methotrexate and 7-hydroxymethotrexate in rabbits

Abstract: In anesthetized rabbits, continuous infusion of methotrexate (MTX; 30 micrograms kg-1 min-1) established steady-state plasma concentrations for MTX and the metabolite 7-hydroxymethotrexate (7-OH-MTX) within 40 min. Fifty percent of the infused dose was eliminated unchanged by the kidneys and the renal MTX clearance was slightly higher than the inulin clearance. Another 15%-30% was metabolized and excreted as 7-OH-MTX in the urine. Infusions of 7-OH-MTX, furosemide or benzarone had no influence on the clearance… Show more

“…The functional activities of MRP2 and FBP1 have been demonstrated to affect the elimination of MTX. For instance, high plasma concentrations, a long half-life, and slow clearance of MTX were observed in MRP2-deficient patients (Hulot et al, 2005) and in EHBR (Masuda et al, 1997), and in the presence of the Mrp2 inhibitors probenecid (Iven and Brasch, 1988;Ueda et al, 2001) and penicillin G (Iven and Brasch 1990). Increased renal clearance of MTX was observed in the presence of cephalosporins, ceftriaxone, sulfamethoxazole, indomethacin, and flurbiprofen Brasch, 1988, 1990;Statkevich et al, 1993).…”

“…Excretion of MTX is inhibited by weak organic acids such as aspirin, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), piperacillin, penicillin G, and probenicid (9). Cephalosporins may also inhibit renal excretion, probably by competition for tubular secretion (86). A single recent publication indicates that hydroxychloroquine appears to enhance the effects of MTX by increasing the area under the curve for MTX concentration time by an average of 65% (87).…”

“…It has been established that 50-90% of each dose of methotrexate (MTX) is excreted by the kidney as an unchanged drug [1][2][3]. Renal impairment has been re ported in patients treated with high-dose MTX [4][5][6], However, these reports have not been substantiated with histological studies.…”
