Popis: Abstract Background We report a case of delayed excretion of methotrexate (MTX) in a pediatric patient on high-dose MTX therapy in response to a change in the concomitant dosage of voriconazole from oral to intravenous. As the intravenous, but not the oral formulation of voriconazole includes sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin (SBECD), which has an anionic residue, we hypothesized that SBECD inhibits the renal excretion of anionic compounds. Methods We evaluated the inhibitory effects of SBECD on renal excretion of phenolsulfonphthalein (PSP), which is eliminated in urine via organic anion transport systems. PSP was administered intravenously to rats at 2.5 and 25 mg/kg with or without SBECD pretreatment (320 mg/kg). Results The plasma concentration of PSP at the dosage of 2.5 mg/kg were comparable between control and SBECD groups. On the other hand, at 25 mg/kg the elimination of PSP was delayed. The clearance of PSP at the dosage of 25 mg/kg was 9.71 ± 1.65 and 4.13 ± 0.76 mL/min/kg in control and SBECD groups, respectively (p
