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

iMidazolam was dosed intravenously at the same time as an oral probe cocktail of tolbutamide, dextromethorphan, and caffeine

jInteraction arm included n = 7 subjects; however, the control arm is only n = 6 as one subject dropped out of the study
