Transport of narcotic analgesics by choroid plexus and kidney tissue in vitro.

Radioactive narcotic analgesics, including morphine, dihydromorphine, nalorphie, codeine, levorphan, dextrorphan, and I-methorphan were accumulated against an apparent concentration gradient in pieces of rabbit and dog choroid plexus and in slices of dog renal cortex by a metabolically depsndent mechanism. The uptake of dihydromorphine by these tissues in vitro was a saturable process depressed...
