Abbreviations: α, fast distribution phrase; AUC, area-under-the concentration curve; β, slow distribution phase; CL, elimination clearance; Q1, intercompartmental clearance; SD, standard deviation; SN38G = glucuronidated SN38; V1, central distribution volume; V2, peripheral distribution volume.

a

β half-life corresponds to the terminal slope for the plasma concentration decay. Elimination half-life describes the elimination of the drug from the organism, defined as V1*log(2)/CL.
