Pharmacokinetic values reported in the table are based on published average values, unless otherwise noted
AUC area under the curve, BID twice daily, CL clearance, Con control, MATE1 Multidrug and Toxic Extrusion 1, MRT mean residence time, NAT N-acetyl transferase, NR not reported, OCT organic cation transporter, P-gp P-glycoprotein, QD once daily, QID four times a day, t1/2,z terminal half-life, Refs reference, TID three times a day, Vss volume of distribution at steady state, XO xanthine oxidase
aRatios are calculated by digitization of published average plasma concentration–time profiles and performing a non-compartmental analysis
bRatios are calculated for each individual using published individual pharmacokinetic data; the reported value reflects the average of each individual ratio
cAUC was calculated with the equation AUC = dose/CL using known dose and reported average values of CL
dAUC was calculated for each individual with the equation AUC = dose/CL using known dose and reported individual values of CL; the reported value reflects the average of each individual ratio
eMRT was calculated with the equation Vss = CL·MRT using reported average values of CL and Vss
fMRT was calculated for each individual with the equation Vss = CL·MRT using reported individual values of CL and Vss; the reported value reflects the average of each individual ratio
gRatios are calculated by digitization of a published plasma concentration–time profile of a single representative subject, which may not be reflective of all subjects in the study
hRatios are calculated by digitization of individual published plasma concentration–time profiles and performing a non-compartmental analysis; the reported value reflects the average of each individual ratio
