Comparative distribution of two antidepressant drugs (imipramine and indalpine) in the rat as determined by analog computer simulation.
A ten-compartment analog computer model is presented to determine the precise distribution and excretion of two antidepressant drugs, LM 5008 AND Imipramine. Eight patterns were simulated using experimental data and drug distribution in the two undetermined compartments were obtained by the analog model. Close agreement with existing experimental data lends confidence in the model as a valuable tool for predictions in a variety of therapeutic situations.
