Adipose tissue kinetics of chlorpromazine and imipramine, 2 drugs which are more lipophilic than thiopental, were studied in the rat. After single i.v. doses, the time-course of drug distribution was followed in adipose and various other tissues until their concentrations in adipose tissues declined. Under these conditions the 2 drugs behaved almost identically. Among the tissues analyzed, the lowest concentrations were found in adipose tissue, with the exception of plasma. At its maximum concentration after about 30 min, total adipose tissue contained only 3% of the dose of administered drugs. Adipose/plasma and adipose/lung concentration ratios were 2-5 and 0.05, respectively. After maximum tolerated oral doses of imipramine for 3 wk, similar steady state concentration ratios (plasma:adipose:brain:lung, 1:3:12:96) were observed. In adipose tissue the imipramine/desmethylimipramine ratio was about 1, and the desmethylimipramine steady state levels did not increase with time. Many basic lipophilic drugs are not stored in adipose tissue. This is now clearly shown for chlorpromazine and imipramine, even under extreme, subchronic conditions in the case of imipramine.
