Sketch for major compartmental modules and related parameters. The subscripts of pv, G, H, HA and sys represent the portal vein, gut, liver, hepatic artery and systemic compartment, respectively. Q is the blood flow rate, Ka is the absorption rate constant, FG is gut availability after intestinal metabolism; CLμ,int,H and CLμ,int,H are the unbound intrinsic clearance in liver and enterocytes. PSinf is the overall influx intrinsic clearance, PSeff is the overall efflux intrinsic clearance, and CLmet,int represents the hepatic metabolism by CYPs.
