title: Cefsulodin penetration into rat brain: extracellular versus total concentration.
abstract: Disposition of cefsulodin (125 mg X kg-1) was studied in rat frontal cortex after intravenous injection of a bolus by two methods. In vivo voltametry and high performance liquid chromatography of cefsulodin in brain extracts gave different concentration values. The ratio of concentrations determined by the two methods was similar to the ratio of the extravascular volume to total volume. Thus, these findings evidenced the distribution of cefsulodin in the extravascular fluid of the rat frontal cortex.
