Abstract
Biotransformation and elimination of diazepam and four 3-hydroxy-benzodiazepines after i.v. injection in anaesthetized cats were investigated. Decay of plasma concentration of 3-hydroxy-benzodiazepines was slow and plasma concentrations of their glucuronides were lower than of unchanged parent compounds. In the urine, very low excretion rates of all investigated benzodiazepines were found during the first eight hours. It is concluded that cats poorly glucuronidate 3-dydroxy-benzodiazepines.
