The effect of phenytoin on the absorption of synthetic folic acid polyglutamate.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The absorption of synthetic pteroyltriglutamate has been measured in nine normal students with and without the anticonvulsant drug phenytoin. It has been shown that phenytoin has no effect on the absorption of this folate polyglutamate. The reasons are discussed for the disparity between this result and those reported in the literature when folate polyglutamates derived from yeast were used.

Observations on folate absorption with particular reference to folate polyglutamate and possible inhibitors to its absorption.
A test system for detection of inhibitors to the enzyme which removes the glutamic acid peptide chain from folate polyglutamates (folate conjugase) is described. This utilizes the reaction between plasma conjugase and the folate polyglutamate in red blood cell haemolysate. Diphenylhydantoin and yeast extracts did not inhibit plasma conjugase. The better absorption of monoglutamate forms of fola...

متن کاملEffect of intraluminal pH on the absorption of pteroylmonoglutamic acid.
The administration of pteroylmonoglutamic acid and either sodium bicarbonate or phenytoin sodium in normal subjects and epileptics results in lower serum levels of folic acid than when administered alone. Bicarbonate administration was shown to produce a more alkaline pH in the jejunum, while an alkaline pH was found in some epileptics on phenytoin therapy. The physicochemical mechanisms whereb...
متن کاملBioavailability of heptaglutamyl relative to monoglutamyl folic acid in healthy adults.
BACKGROUND The bioavailability of dietary folate has been estimated to be approximately 50% of that of synthetic folic acid. Folate in the diet is linked to a polyglutamate chain that may restrict folate absorption. OBJECTIVE Our goal was to quantify the bioavailability and bioefficacy of low doses of polyglutamyl folic acid relative to that of monoglutamyl folic acid. DESIGN In total, 180 ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Oral Administration of L-Tyrosine, Folic acid and Pyridoxine on Perphenazine Induced Catatonia in Rat
L-tyrosine, B6 and folic acid are involved in biosynthesis of DOPA and consequently dopamine. The aim of this study was to investigate the antiparkinsonian effect of these agents in perphenazine-induced catatonia in rats. Murprogo method or scored muscular rigidity, which is induced by a phenothiazine, was used to evaluate the antiparkinsonian effect of these agents. A significant decrease in m...
