چکیده
Nitrofurantoin and nitrofurantoin with liquorice were given to healthy volunteers and patients suffering from urinary tract infections. The excretion rates of the drug, colony counts and side effects were studied in patients and excretion rates in the volunteers. The excretion rates of the drug were significantly higher in patients receiving the drug with liquorice and also side effects were minimal. There was no significant difference in the excretion rates of the drug with addition of liquorice in healthy volunteers.

Some experience with deglycyrrhizinated liquorice in the treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcers with special reference to its spasmolytic effect.
Liquorice has been used in medicine for many years, originally as a sweetening agent, but its efficacy was not fully realized until Revers (1946, 1958) found that peptic ulcers healed rapidly with its extract. However, oedema, heartburn, congestive cardiac failure, and headaches were commonly encountered as side effects of the crude extract. Molhuysen, Gerbrandy, de Vries, de Jong, Renstia, Tur...
متن کاملThe breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP/ABCG2) affects pharmacokinetics, hepatobiliary excretion, and milk secretion of the antibiotic nitrofurantoin.
Nitrofurantoin is a commonly used urinary tract antibiotic prescribed to lactating woman. It is actively transported into human and rat milk by an unknown mechanism. Our group has demonstrated an important role of the breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP/ABCG2) in the secretion of xenotoxins into the milk. This ATP-binding cassette drug efflux transporter extrudes xenotoxins from cells in int...

متن کاملInhibition of primary ADP-induced platelet aggregation in normal subjects after administration of nitrofurantoin (furadantin).
The evidence indicating that platelets may play a role in the occurrence of certain thromboembolic phenomena has stimulated a search for inhibitors of platelet function. This report presents data to indicate that nitrofurantoin is a potent inhibitor of primary ADP-induced platelet aggregation. The addition of 10 muM nitrofurantoin to citrated platelet-rich plasma obtained from 12 normal subject...
متن کاملEffects of the flavonoid chrysin on nitrofurantoin pharmacokinetics in rats: potential involvement of ABCG2.
Breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP/ABCG2) is an ATP-binding cassette efflux transporter, important in drug disposition and in the development of multidrug resistance in cancer. Flavonoids, a large class of natural compounds widely present in the diet and herbal products, have been shown in vitro to be BCRP inhibitors. The flavonoid chrysin is a potent inhibitor of BCRP, inhibiting the efflu...
