TABLE 4.
Human equivalent exposure concentrations predictions using MPPD-PBPK modeling and the MEC values reported in Figures 4–6 and typical cigarettes and HTP nicotine content for comparison.
| MEC (µmol) | HEC (mg nicotine/stick) median (5th-95th percentiles) | Nicotine concentration (mg nicotine/stick) | Margin of exposure (MOE) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1R6F | 0.072 | 0.288 (0.25–0.337) a | 1.85 | 0.16 |
| HTP | 0.77 | 3.05 (2.64–3.58) a | 1.03 | 2.96 |
Monte-Carlo simulations were performed with 1,000 iterations as described in model evaluation.
