Abstract
- The present investigation was an attempt to clarify the mechanism of combined effect of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and aminopyrine (AMI) in febrile rabbits as induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). In addition, the possible synergic effect of both agents was studied in relation to the plasma concentration. In febrile rabbits, the plasma concentration of ASA (500 mg/kg, p.o.) was a higher level than in the control, but the concentration of salicylic acid (SA), the metabolite of ASA, was similar to that in the control. The plasma concentration of AMI (100 mg/kg, p.o.) in febrile rabbits was lower than in the control. A dose-dependent antipyretic effect was seen in the successive doses from 125 to 500 mg/kg of ASA, and a similar tendency was also observed in AMI from 25 to 100 mg/kg. To observe the synergic effect of ASA and AMI, we prepared the following three combinations: I (ASA/AMI; 125 plus 75 mg/kg), II (ASA/AMI; 250 plus 50 mg/kg) and III (ASA/AMI; 375 plus 25 mg/kg). Plasma concentrations of ASA, SA and AMI were measured after oral administration of the preparations and these concentrations were lower than in the separate administration of ASA ans AMI. The antipyretic effect of the three preparations was weaker than the expected value, respectively.
