I t has long been recognized that penicillin penetrates into the cercbro-spinal fluid (C. S. F.) only in low concentrations, (Fleming 1943, Floreg 1943, Rammelkamp h Keefer 1943): Indeed Smith (1951) failed to detect any in patients having “the standard scheme of treatment” for parenchymatous neurosyphilis. In a series of experiments on dogs and rats, Fishman (1966) has shown that probenecid is the most effective inhibitor of the active C. S. F. transport of penicillin. He states that i t increases C. S. F. concentrations in the following stages: (1) serum penicillin levels are increased, (2 ) active transport of penicillin from the C. S. F. to the serum is inhibited, (3) there is an increase in diffusible penicillin as probenecid competes with i t for protein binding. Fishman found that probenecid caused a “marked increase” in the rate of entry of penicillin into the C. S. F., and raised C. S. FJplasma filtrate ratio from 4.1 per cent to 6.5 per cent in some dogs, and from 7.9 per cent to 10.9 per cent in others. He concluded that the “absolute concentration of penicillin in the C. S. F. was higher in each dog when probenecid was also given”. In man probenecid increases serum and C. S. F. penicillin concentrations by inhibiting renal tubular secretion and is well tolerated for an indefinite period (Nichols, Richards & Finland 1952, and Gutman 1966). Two grams of oral probenecid has been found to cause a two-threefold increase in serum methicillin persisting for 8 hours (Henderson, Carleton h Hamburger 1962); and a tenfold increase in serum penicillin concentration (Martindale 1967).
