Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The isolated perfused lung (IPL) of rats were used to examine the pulmonary disposition and metabolism of radiolabeled phencyclidine (PCP) and N-ethyl-1-phenylcyclohexylamine (PCE). The IPL removed PCP and PCE from the perfusate and converted them to free and conjugated metabolites. At the conclusion of a 1-h perfusion, the lung accumulated at least 20% of the administered radioactivity and metabolized more than 30% of the added drug. Pretreatment of rats with 3-MC or cigarette smoke enhanced significantly PCP and PCE metabolism by the IPL. The concentration of conjugated PCE metabolite in the perfusate of the IPL was increased significantly by both 3-MC and cigarette smoke pretreatments whereas the concentration of conjugated PCP metabolite was not affected by cigarette smoke exposure and increased only slightly after 3-MC pretreatment. Pretreatment of rats with 3-MC or cigarette smoke also altered the amount of radioactivity accumulated by the lung tissue at the conclusion of a 1-h perfusion. Inasmuch as PCP and PCE are often abused by humans via smoke inhalation, a significant amount of these drugs may be stored or metabolized by the lung.
