The biliary excretion rates of [14C]acetylprocaine amide ethobromide (acetyl-PAEB) and [3H]taurocholate, either administered alone or in combination to adult male Wistar rats, were studied. Their renal pedicles were ligated, and the common bile duct and one jugular vein cannulated. Acetyl-PAEB, 20 mg/kg, and sodium taurocholate, 70 mg/kg, were infused over a 5-min period. Blood and bile samples were collected every 10 min for 60 min. Liver samples were taken at 10 and 20 min. Approximately 100% of the administered taurocholate was excreted within 50 min. The simultaneous administration of acetyl-PAEB did not significantly alter the taurocholate excretion. The amount of the acetyl-PAEB dose excreted in 1 h was 9.4%. This was increased significantly to 16.5% when taurocholate was given concomitantly. The concentration of acetyl-PAEB in the bile increased significantly when taurocholate was given, and the ratios of its concentrations in bile–liver and bile–plasma were also increased. Taurocholate did not alter the liver–plasma concentration ratio of acetyl-PAEB. It is suggested that the concomitant administration of taurocholate increased the biliary excretion of acetyl-PAEB by facilitating its secretion by the liver into the bile.
