Data used was from the current study. In dams for 5mg/kg and for 20 mg/kg, respectively, Cmax (ng/mL) was 342 and 948 and AUC (ng.h/mL) was 2120 and 6960 (Table 2)

2

Exposure multiples given are the ratio of rat dose/human dose estimated using mg/kg, mg/m2, Cmax and AUC

3

mg/m2 values were estimated using Km value of 6kg/m2 for rats (Reagen-Shaw et al., 2008)

4

Human doses mg/kg and mg/m2 were calculated assuming 10mg dose taken by a 70kg person (0.143mg/kg) and using a Km value of 37kg/m2 for humans (Reagen-Shaw et al., 2008)

5

Two human studies were used for comparison. The following Cmax (ng/mL) and AUC (ng.h/mL) values, respectively, reported following use of 10mg of vinpocetine product were used: 64.3 and 519.7 (Ref 1, Elbary et al., (2002); 25.2 and 249.43 (Ref 2, Kharshoum (2013))
