Kinetics of distribution of amphetamine in cats

R Latini et al. Psychopharmacology (Berl). .

Abstract

The distribution and metabolic fate of amphetamine were studied in cats. In the brain, high levels of drug were detected in the grey matter structures at short intervals after administration, while at longer intervals distribution between white and grey matter areas was more uniform. In peripheral tissues the greatest concentration of the drug was seen in the highly vascularized organs. Para-hydroxy-amphetamine was found in minimal amounts in the liver and kidneys and only at trace quantities in the brain.
