The present study was performed to characterize the disposition and alpha(1)-adrenoceptor binding of JTH-601, a novel alpha(1L)-adrenoceptor antagonist, and its metabolites (beta-D-glucopyranosyl uronic acid, JTH-601-G1; hydrogen sulfate, JTH-601-S1) in the rat prostate and other tissues. JTH-601, JTH-601-G1, and JTH-601-S1 inhibited competitively specific [(3)H]tamsulosin binding in the prosta...
