[Pharmacokinetics and metabolism of 3-carbethoxyamino-5-dimethylamino-acetyl-iminodibenzyl hydrochloride (Bonnecor, AWD 19-166, GS 015) in the rat].

Excretion, blood level, distribution, and metabolite samples were studied on the rat after application of GS 015 marked by 14C. The compound is quickly and completely absorbed and metabolized from an aqueous solution. The marked substances form a broad blood level maximum, at the occasion of which a main metabolite distinguishes itself apart from the initial compound at first provable yet. The elimination half-life from the blood is 6 h. An intense influx of radioactive substance into the tissues takes place. The excretion of the marked metabolites occurs mainly renally making appear a second main metabolite. Striking sex differences are partly observed in the parameters tested.
