Table 2.
Pharmacokinetic parameters of INH in plasma among fast, intermediate, and slow acetylators by the chromatographic method.
Genotype of acetylation | Pharmacokinetic parameters of INH | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
I 3 | C 6 | K e | T 0,5 | C max | AUC0–6 | AUCtotal | |
Fast | 0,36a | 0,27a | 0,51b | 1,59a | 3,39a | 8,6a | 9,2a |
Intermediate | 0,55a | 0,70a | 0,41b | 1,85a | 5,80b | 15,4b | 17,5b |
Slow | 0,97b | 2,20b | 0,27a | 3,14b | 7,09c | 24,5c | 35,5c |
The different letters in the columns indicate significant differences (at P ≤ 0.05) between the respective types of acetylation.
I 3: index of acetylation.
C 6: concentration of INH 6 hours after drug administration.
K e: fixed speed of elimination 1/h.
T 0,5: elimination half time.
AUC0–6: area under concentration curve in the period 0–6 hours.
AUCtotal: area under concentration curve.
