FIG 1

Composite model describing the plasma PK of ribavirin as well as its intracellular kinetics in both RBCs and PBMCs. CLt: total clearance. Vc: central compartment volume of distribution. CLd: distributional clearance. Vp: peripheral compartment volume of distribution. ka: absorption rate constant. kmp: transport/formation rate constant for ribavirin monophosphate (RMP). kmpout: rate constant for the disappearance of phosphorylated ribavirin. Rdpmp: rapid equilibrium partition coefficient between ribavirin diphosphate (RDP) and RMP. Rtpdp: rapid equilibrium partition coefficient between ribavirin triphosphate (RTP) and RDP.
