The absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination of β-(p-chlorophenyl)-GABA (Baclofen), 4

Distribution of 14C-baclofen was studied according to the autoradiography of a whole body in SD-JCL male rats after oral administration of 14C-baclofen (100 μCi/kg). Distribution of radioactivity in kidney and liver was already apparent 15 min after administration. Radioactivity in kidney and liver was increased distribution of radioactivity in skeletal muscle was apparent 1 hr after administration. Radio and activity in various tissues decreased 3 hrs after administration. Distribution of radioactivity in brain and spinal cord remained low at any time after administration. Distribution of radioactivity of 14C-baclofen in autoradiography was consistent with that in tracer study (Yamamoto et al 1977). (auth.)
