The effect of urinary pH on renal interaction of cefsulodin and probenecid was tested in rabbits. Probenecid was reabsorbed in acidic urine (fractional excretion [FE] = 8 +/- 4%) and secreted in alkaline urine (FE = 492 +/- 258%). Renal excretion of cefsulodin alone was not affected by the urinary pH (FE = ca. 100%). In acidic urine, probenecid significantly reduced tubular secretion of cefsulodin (FE = 74 +/- 8%). An inverse pattern was observed in alkaline urine (FE = 122 +/- 18%).
