V1 = volume of the central compartment, V2 = volume in the peripheral compartment, Q = inter-compartmental clearance, CL = clearance from the central compartment, CL0 is the baseline clearance and CL1 is the asymptotic value of CL for large concentrations of valspodar (when valspodar →∞), EC50mitox= the concentration of valspodar required to reduce mitoxantrone clearance by 50%, EC50eto= the concentration of valspodar required to reduce etoposide clearance by 50%.

c

Percent square root of the relative standard error of the coefficient of variation(100estimateSEestimate)
