title: [Distribution volume and elimination of triamterene and its active metabolites in the rabbit (author's transl)].
abstract: In rabbits the volumes of distribution of triamterene (TA) and its metabolites hydroxytriamterene (OH-TA) and hydroxytriamterene sulfuric acid ester (OH-TA-ester) were determined after i.v. administration of the agents. Both TA as well as its metabolites distribute in at least 2 compartments, OH-TA exhibiting by far the greatest volume of distribution, followed by TA and then by OH-TA-ester. TA and its phase-II-metabolite are eliminated at practically equal rate, whereas the elimination of OH-TA is relatively slow.
