title: [Autoradiographic distribution of 14C after administering tracer-marked nitroprusside, cyanide and thiocyanate to pregnant mice and rats (author's transl)].
abstract: Doses of ca. 2--3 mg/kg of nitroprusside, cyanide and thiocyanate, tracer-marked with 14C, were applied i.v. to pregnant mice and rats. Autoradiograms of the whole animal were taken 1 min, 10 min and 60 min after administration. After administering nitroprusside two phases of the tracer pattern could be distinguished: the phase of removal of the cyanide poisoning with tracer-markings predominant in the liver and the lungs, followed by the phase of thiocyanate excretion, with tracer-markings predominantly in the stomach and urinary system. Tracer-markings in the foetuses were observed during the thiocyanate phase, but not during the cyanide phase. The therapeutic consequences are discussed.
