1. The fate of [(14)C]thalidomide orally administered to pregnant rabbits at the beginning of the sensitive phase of pregnancy has been studied. 2. After the oral administration of [(14)C]thalidomide on the 192nd hour of pregnancy about 68% of the radioactivity appears in the urine and 22% in the faeces. 3. The urinary (14)C is made up as follows (% of dose): thalidomide (2); alpha-(o-carboxybenzamido)glutarimide (16); 2- and 4-phthalimidoglutaramic acids (11); 2-phthalimidoglutaric acid (0.2); 2- and 4-(o-carboxybenzamido)glutaramic acids and 2-(o-carboxybenzamido)-glutaric acid (29). 4. The plasma (14)C concentration is maximal at 12hr. after dosing and the radioactivity persists for more than 58hr. At 4hr. the main compound in the plasma is thalidomide, but its concentration steadily declines while the concentration of its hydrolysis products increases. 5. At 12, 24 and 58hr. after dosing radioactivity is present in the embryo and the maternal tissues examined. The (14)C concentration in the embryo is at nearly all times higher than that in the plasma, brain, skeletal muscle and fat but lower than that in the liver and kidney. 6. At 4hr. after dosing the mother on the tenth day of pregnancy the specific activities of the embryo and the yolk-sac fluid are similar. 7. Thalidomide is found in the embryo together with seven of its hydrolysis products for more than 24hr. after dosing. The accumulation of radioactivity in the embryo is due to retention of the polar hydrolysis products.
