[Toxicokinetics of a thioquinoxaline component: the oxythioquinox (author's transl)].

The absorption and distribution of Morestan 35S in the organism of the rat were studied after administration by stomach tube. It was shown that Morestan, in vivo and in vitro, forms a complex with plasma proteins and particularly with albumins. Most of the plasma Morestan is distributed like this. After intravenous admininstration, the constant of elimination, K13, and the biological half-life determination show that plasma Morestan 35S is eliminated very slowly. The K12 and K21 constants indicate that there is an equilibrium between the plasma compartment and a peripheral compartment. After intragastric administration, the increase of radioactivity in epididymal adipose tissue, indicate that the peripheral compartment should include the adipose tissue.
