Deposition of plutonium-239 decreases in virtually all tissues examined under the influence of both DTPA (diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid) and iron with DTPA. The mechanisms of action of penetacin and macroquantities of iron with pentacin on plutonium in biological media are not identical. Use of DTPA increased primarily excretion of plutonium-239 in urine. Administration of iron with pentacin resulted in predominantly fecal excretion of plutonium.
