title: Stability of two new anticonvulsants in body fluids and tissues.
abstract: Stability of two compounds with established anticonvulsant activity, picolinic acid benzylamide (Pic-BZA) and nicotinic acid benzylamide (Nic-BZA), incubated in homogenates of body organs and in body fluids was determined at different time points. Pic-BZA was found to decompose fairly rapidly in the liver and the kidney, while Nic-BZA demonstrated stability against enzymes present in these organs and fluids.
