[Experimental study of the basic pharmacokinetic characteristics of dipeptide carnosine and its efficiency of penetration into brain tissues].

We have used an original chromatography/mass spectrometry technique to study the pharmacokinetics of dipeptide carnosine in C57 Black/6 mice after intra-peritoneal administration of the drug at a dose of 1 g/kg. The basic pharmacokinetic characteristics of carnosine were measured the in the blood and brain. The obtained concentration-time curve has a biexponential character.
