RESUMO
Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of a novel tranquilizing agent--gidazepam (I), a prodrug, and its physiologically active metabolite--7-bromo-5-phenyl-1,2-di-hydro-3H-1,4- benzodiazepine-2-one (II) in mice organism were studied. The form of relationship was determined between the dynamics of the anticonvulsant effect of labelled (2-14C-) I and II and the kinetics of the content of 14C-compounds in the experimental animals brain. It was noted that the biophase of the effect and the effector fragment of the scheme of biokinetics for I and II are identical. The effector prognosis of pharmacokinetics of I was realized. The comparison of the main characteristics of biokinetics for the prodrug (I) and drug (II) allowed us to reveal the nature of the quantitative differences of these pharmacological effects.
