The total radioactivity in mouse plasma and bone marrow after i.m. injection of [35S]diethyllipoamide was closely related to the radioprotective effects. Analysis of blood samples with paper radiochromatography and scanning showed that the active form of the drug in vivo was diethyllipoamide per se. The drug passed rapidly into the brain and was mainly distributed in liver and kidney. Approximately 53% of the radoactivity was excreted in urine within 24 h. The characteristics of drug distribution in these tissues were believed to be responsible for the transient toxic signs after large doses.
