TABLE 2.
Brain pharmacokinetic values of C-DIM compoundsData representing the mean of three animals per time point per C-DIM compound were used for the construction of brain tissue concentration versus time curves (Fig. 4).
Noncompartmental modeling was used for the calculation of pharmacokinetic parameters based on the composite data.
