Abstract

The time course of physiological disposition of a variety of drugs has been examined in pregnant rats using radiolabeled compounds and highly specific methods. The results indicate that the placental barrier in rats behaves as a lipoidal barrier towards positively charged and neutral drugs, while negatively charged drugs pass the placental barrier with comparative ease. Localization in fetal tissues is less pronounced that in corresponding maternal tissues for all drugs. Fetal and maternal plasma half-lives are similar for most of the compounds tested.
