Parameter estimates of the final moxifloxacin pharmacokinetic modela

Parameter Value(s) (RSE[%])

Vc (liters) 114 (1.36)
ka (h−1) 1.50 (2.15) 69.9 (3.62)

No. of transit compartments 11.6 (2.39)
Q (liters/h) 2.14 (2.92) 32.9 (3.17)

a

RSE, relative standard error reported on the approximate standard-deviation scale obtained from a bootstrap sample size of 200; CL, oral clearance; Vc, volume of distribution in the central compartment; ka, first-order absorption rate constant; MTT, absorption mean transit time; Q, intercompartmental clearance; Vp, volume of distribution in the peripheral compartment; F, oral bioavailability fixed to 1 (since we did not have intravenous injection data). In this table, we report the values of parameters directly estimated by the model. To obtain CL/F, the values of CL must be combined with those of F. Since the typical value of F was fixed to 1, the typical value of CL/F has the same value as CL, while the between-subject variability (BSV) of CL/F needs to take into account both the BSV in CL and that in F. A similar consideration is valid for Vc/F, Q/F, and Vp/F.

b

IIV, interindividual variability expressed as percent coefficient of variation (% CV).
