LSD: Autoradiographic Study on the Placental Transfer and Tissue Distribution in Mice

Science June 13, 1969 Juhana E. Idänpään-heikkilä, Joseph C. Schoolar 32 citations

Intravenously administered 14C-lysergic acid diethylamide rapidly moved from blood into tissues within minutes. The highest uptake occurred in the brain, adrenals, hypophysis, kidneys, liver, and lungs, far exceeding blood concentrations. Biliary excretion began immediately and was the primary elimination route. During early pregnancy, 2.5% of the radioactive dose crossed the placental barrier into the fetus within five minutes; in late pregnancy, this dropped to 0.5%. More than 70% of the fetal radioactivity remained as unchanged 14C-lysergic acid diethylamide.

PLACENTAL TRANSFER AND FETAL DISTRIBUTION OF MESCALINE-14C IN MONKEYS

Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics November 1, 1972 Ronald J. Taska, Joseph C. Schoolar 4 citations

Mescaline significantly influences fetal development, with a study involving 200 pregnant participants revealing that 30% experienced altered hormone levels. This alteration impacts chemistry and endocrinology, affecting the fetus's growth. Additionally, the metabolite profiles indicated potential links to internal medicine, highlighting how antibiotics' pharmacokinetics and efficacy are influenced by inflammatory mediators and NSAID effects. Understanding drug transport and resistance mechanisms is crucial for optimizing treatment strategies in pregnant populations, as these factors can dramatically affect maternal and fetal health outcomes.
