After single oral administration of [ring-^<14>C]magnolol, a central nervous system-depressive, muscle-relaxant and bactericidal principle of Magnoliae Cortex to rats, the blood levels of radioactivity showed two peaks at 15 min and 8 h, suggesting an enterohepatic circulation of magnolol and its metabolites. The radioactivity was distributed mostly in the gastrointestinal tract and liver, and next in the kidney, pancreas and lung. A major metabolite excreted in the bile was [ring-^<14>C]magnolol-2-O-glucuronide.After oral and intraperitoneal administration of [ring-^<14>C]magnolol, most of the radioactivity was eliminated into the feces and urine within the first 12 h in either case. The oral dose was recovered to a greater extent from the feces (72% of the administered radioactivity) than from the urine (7.4%) in 144 h, and the intraperitoneal dose was similarly recovered from the feces (67%) and from the urine (12%).On repeated oral administration of cold and [ring-^<14>C]magnolol, the composition of the fecal metabolites significantly changed, and tetrahydromagnolol, 5-((E)-1-propenyl)-5'-propyl-2,2'-dihydroxybiphenyl, 5-allyl-5'-propyl-2,2'-dihydroxybiphenyl, isomagnolol and 5-allyl-5'-((E)-1-propenyl)-2,2'-dihydroxybiphenyl were detected.
