Determination of the tissue distribution and excretion by accelerator mass spectrometry of the nonadecapeptide 14C-Moli1901 in beagle dogs after intratracheal instillation

The data presented here are consistent with that obtained in other species. Moli1901 is slowly absorbed and excreted from the lung, and it does not accumulate in other tissues. Moli1901 is currently in the clinic and has proven to be safe in single dose studies in human volunteers and cystic fibrosis patients by the inhalation route. No information on the disposition of the compound in humans is available. This study in dogs demonstrates the feasibility of obtaining that information using 14C-Moli1901 and AMS.
