They are very lipophilic neutral small molecules, which are orally active and have a very wide volume of distribution. It is thus capable of penetrating cell membranes and will enter the CSF. It is eliminated in the liver via hepatic metabolism with only 10% being excreted in the urine unchanges. The half-life varies between each species and also with age of the animal.
