A study on the mechanism of biliary and urinary excretion of chloramphenicol has been performed in the dog. 1) Chloramphenicol administered intravenously to dogs with ligated renal pedicle, readily appeared in bile greater than in plasma. 6.9% of a 50㎎/㎏ i. v. dose of chloramphenicol were excreted into bile within 100 minutes. During the same periods of above experiment, the bile/plasma concentration ratios(B/P ratios) were 46 to 87. 2) Chloramphenicol injected into the vein of dog was rapidly excreted into urine. 18% of the administered dose were excreted into urine within 70 minutes. In the same periods of this experiment, Ccm/Ccr ratios were greater than 1.0 in most cases. 3) In experiment of simultaneous measurement of biliary and urinary excretion of chloramphenicol, Ccm/Ccr ratios were less than 1.0 and B/P ratios were 50 to 52. 4) In experiment measured simultaneously biliary and urinary excretion both Ccm/Ccr and C^HCm(hepatic clearance) were significantly declined by probenecid, but not affected by 2, 4-DNP and aminophylline although 2, 4-DNP increased only bile flow and aminophylline both bile and urine volume. 5) Ccm/Ccr and C^HCm were increased in proportion to increment of plasma concentration ranging from 3.3 to 30 ㎎% of chloramphenicol. But when plasma concentration were increased to 70㎎%, Ccm/Ccr were not increased and C_HCm were reduced about 30% in comparison with values obtained at 30㎎% of chloramphenicol. 6) Free/Bound(free to bouid from) ratios ranging from 1.0 to 90.0㎎% of chloramphenicol were 76.2+3.72% (mean±S.E.) Above results suggest that chloramphenicol is excreted into bile by a process of active trasport, that excretion of chloramphenicol into urine was made up with dual process, reabsorption and secretion, and that renal secretion was attained by active trasport process although renal reabsorption process could not understand.
