After its local intraarterial administration in the hind limb, Dibenzyline can produce a local blockade without any evidence of a systemic blockade 24 hours after the administration of the drug.
Cross-circulation experiments reveal that the sojourn of an effective concentration of the drug in the donor's circulation is no longer than 71/2 hours. The blockade in the recipient cat was always incomplete. At 8 hours, no active blocking agent could be transferred from the donor to the recipient.
The duration of blockade after a single dose lasted for 3 to 4 days, the residual effects lasting for 7 days.
It is therefore concluded that the long duration of action of Dibenzyline is due to a firm chemical combination of the drug with a cellular receptor substance, and not due to its storage in body fat.
