The disposition of R- and S-prenylamine was investigated in male Wistar rats after i.v. and p.o. dosage of 2 mg/kg racemic prenylamine. Concentrations of the enantiomers were determined in plasma, lung, heart, spleen, liver kidney and muscle tissue within a period of 5 h after dosage. In addition, plasma protein binding was assayed in vitro with racemic drug and found to be similar for the two enantiomers. Except for plasma samples after i.v. administration the concentrations of the S-enantiomer exceeded those of the R-enantiomer.

D014018 Tissue Distribution Accumulation of a drug or chemical substance in various organs (including those not relevant to its pharmacologic or therapeutic action). This distribution depends on the blood flow or perfusion rate of the organ, the ability of the drug to penetrate organ membranes, tissue specificity, protein binding. The distribution is usually expressed as tissue to plasma ratios. Distribution, Tissue,Distributions, Tissue,Tissue Distributions
