The purified compound was labeled with I-131 and biodistribution studies were performed in rats. Radioiodinated codeine distributed uniformly in the cerebellum, m.pons, striatum and hypothalamus while the other branch of brain and Stomach, urinary bladder, and small intestine uptakes were significantly higher than other tissues.en10.1007/s10967-009-0528-2info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessArticle2802363370WOS:000265714000028Q3
