Recently Sprague and his associates1have developed a drug, caronamide (4' carboxyphenylmethanesulfonanilide) which inhibits the renal excretion of penicillin. Beyer2, 3has postulated that caronamide suppresses penicillin excretion by blocking the specific enzyme system responsible for penicillin transport through the tubular cells. Since it has been demonstrated2, 4that of the penicillin excreted about 20 per cent passes into the urine through the glomeruli and 80...Bibliography1.
