Abstract:
Soyasaponins were detected by GC and GC-MS in different organs of GLYCYRRHIZA GLABRA, particularly in the seed, hypocotyl and rootlet, whereas glycyrrhizin was detected exclusively in the thickening root and the stolon. An inverse relationship was found between the soyasaponins content and the glycyrrhizin content in the growing stolon and in the roots at different stages of growth.

Drug Distribution: Tissue Binding
Upon entering the systemic circulation, drugs can distribute into the interstitial and intracellular fluid of various tissue cells. This distribution is facilitated by the binding of drugs to different cellular components within tissues, which may lead to drug accumulation in specific areas. Drugs bound to tissue components serve as reservoirs that release free drugs back into the system, prolonging the drug's overall action. However, this accumulation can also result in local toxicity.

Tissue-Drug Binding: Localization of Drugs and its Significance
Body tissues, comprising approximately 40% of the body weight, are crucial in drug distribution and localization. These tissues can serve as drug storage sites, competing with plasma binding sites for drug molecules.
Drugs can bind to different tissue components, enhancing their distribution and localization. The factors influencing drug localization in tissues include the drug's lipophilicity, structural characteristics, tissue perfusion rate, and pH differences. These factors determine the...
