The values for the individual enantiomers of warfarin were measured in pH 7.4, 0.067 M potassium phosphate buffer, while the value for the racemic mixture was measured in pH 7.0, 0.10 M potassium phosphate buffer. The values in parentheses represent a range of ± 1 S.D.
Individual estimates for kd ranged from 0.34 s−1 to 0.37 s−1 for the various columns and analysis conditions used in this study.
