ABSTRACT
Distribution of 〔14C〕 bimolane in mice was studied by means of whole body autoradiography. At 30min, and lh, 3h, 9 h, 24h after iv, the mice were briefly anesthetized with ether and frozen by immersing indry ice/acetone. The mice were processed for whole body auto-radiography by continual sections with LKB-2250 PMV big whole body automatic-manual frozen cutter. The exeriments showed that 〔24C〕 bimolane distributed rapidly into the various tissues after iv administrtion. The highest radioactivity was found in lung, kidney, gastrointestinal tract, then the tumor, skin etc, the lowest radioactivity was found in brain.
ABSTRACT
Probimane was first synthesized and developed in Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Science as a novel antit umor agent. Male mice were injected iv 〔14C〕 probimane 3.7?105Bq/20g( 5.62? 107Bq/g ) . At 0.5h,higher radioactivities were found in S87 tumor, kidney, bladder, and vertebra, moderate in skim, lung, liver, blood vessel and gut. The radioactivities tended to decre-aseafter 3h except in the tumor, kidney, and gut in which radioactivities persisted. After 12h, only a trace of radioactivity was detected n intestine. The distribution of probimane correlated with its therepeutic efficacy and toxicity.
