single dose
Doses / concentrations
Remarks:
Doses / Concentrations:
2 mg/kg bw (0.4 ml per animal)
No. of animals per sex per dose / concentration:
9 male rats
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
Rats were treated and placed in individual metabolism cages.
Details on dosing and sampling:
Dosing was performed through the saphenous vein.
Excreta was collected after 6, 12, 24, 48, 72, and 96 h following administration. Three animals were sacrificed at 6, 24, and 96 h for tissue sampling. Urine was collected in containers kept on dry ice. After collection cages were rinsed and cage washings were analyzed. The animals were sacrificed and blood, tissue and organs were removed. Tissue and organs were washed with saline, blotted with absorbing paper, weighed and prepared for radiochemical analysis. All samples were kept on dry ice during necropsy.

Results and discussion

Preliminary studies:
In a preliminary study (data not shown) the appropriate sampling times were selected and the methods of treatment and sampling determined.
In 3 rats most (approx. 95%) of the i.v. dose was eliminated in urine and feces during a 96-h period following dosing.

Toxicokinetic / pharmacokinetic studies

Details on distribution in tissues:
Significant amounts of radioactivity (24% at 6h) were recovered in the GI tract, probably through the bile. Blood and tissue contained 19% of the doses at 6h, but their 14C contents declined to 2% of the doses at 96h. The highest 14C-concentrations were demonstrated in the liver (9.5%, 4-9 times the blood level).
Details on excretion:
Total recoveries in excreta and tissue averaged 98.3, 98.1, and 99.3% at 6, 24, and 96 h after dosing.
During 96 h following i.v. dosing, 67.0 and 30.7% of doses were eliminated in urine and feces, respectively.
