95% CIs for parameter estimates were obtained via the 2.5 and 97.5% quantile estimates calculated during the SIR analysis

Conjugated CPT parameters: V1 central volume of distribution, V2 peripheral volume of distribution, Q1 inter–compartmental clearance (V1 − V2), CLB base conversion rate of conjugated CPT to free CPT (V1 – V3), CLF time-dependent rate conversion of conjugated CPT to free CPT (V1 – V3), t1/2 half-life of first-order decay scalar term governing CLF-mediated CPT conversion

Free CPT parameters: V3 central volume of distribution, V4 peripheral volume of distribution, Q3 inter-compartmental clearance (V3 − V4), CL3 clearance of free CPT from V3
