| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
The effects of two inhibitors (MK-789 and MK-791) of dehydropeptidase I on the pharmacokinetics of N-formimidoyl thienamycin affected the plasma kinetics of N-formimidoyl thienamycin only to a small extent. Plasma concentrations and the area under the plasma concentration curve increased about 20% with a proportional decrease in plasma clearance. MK-789 and MK-791 alter the renal excretion of N-formimidoyl thienamycin from glomerular filtration plus tubular secretion to glomerular filtration only, possibly by competitively inhibiting the penetration of N-formimidoyl thienamycin into the proximal tubular cells. |
