title: Tissue distribution and excretion of 125I-lidamycin in mice and rats.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the tissue distribution, urinary and fecal excretions of (125)I-lidamycin ((125)I-C-1027) in mice and its biliary excretion in rats.
  
  
  METHODS
  The total radioactivity assay (RA method) and the radioactivity assay after precipitation with 200 mL/L trichloroacetic acid (TCA-RA method) were used to determine the tissue distribution, and the urinary and fecal excretions of (125)I-C-1027 in mice and its biliary excretion in rats.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Tissue concentrations reached the peak at the fifth minute after administration of (125)I-C-1027 to mice. The highest concentration was in kidney, and the lowest in brain at all test-time points. The organs of the concentrations of (125)I-C-1027 from high to low were kidney, lung, liver, stomach, spleen, uterus, ovary, intestine, muscle, heart, testis, fat, and brain in mice. The accumulative excretion amounts of 0-24 h, and 0-96 h after administration of (125)I-C-1027 were 68.36 and 71.64% in urine, and 2.60 and 3.21% in feces of mice, respectively, and the accumulative excretion amount of 0-24 h was 3.57% in bile in rats.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Our results reflect the characteristics of the tissue distribution, urinary and fecal excretions of (125)I-C-1027 in mice and the biliary excretion of (125)I-C-1027 and its metabolites in rats, and indicate that (125)I-C-1027 and its metabolites are mainly distributed in kidney, and excreted in urine.
