The promoting efficacies of N-acyl derivatives of amino acids on the rectal absorption of sodium ampicillin were investigated using the rat rectal loop technique. N-Acyl derivatives with longer carbon chains in the acyl moiety showed a greater promoting potency. The promoting potencies of N-acyl derivatives of phenylglycine and phenyl-alanine were greater than those of glycine and alanine derivatives when compared at the same length of carbon chain in their acyl moieties. The promoting action of N-acylamino acids was not influenced by the presence of N-ethylmaleimide or ouabain. The promoting potencies of N-acylamino acids were depressed in the presence of calcium chloride in the rectal loop. The contribution of the calcium ion sequestration capacity of N-acylamino acids to their promoting efficacies is discussed.
