---|---|---|
Day 11 | Day 23 | |
5 mg/kg/day | 1.6 ± 0.2 | 2.2 ± 0.1 |
20 mg/kg/day | 1.6 ± 0.2 | 1.7 ± 0.1 |
40 mg/kg/day | 4.7 ± 0.2 | 4.4 ± 0.1 |
40 mg/kg three times/wk | 1.6 ± 0.2 | 2.8 ± 0.5 |
Values are means ± standard deviations of values obtained from six mice at each time point. Blood was obtained on day 11 (midtreatment, approximately 4 h after dosing) and day 23, 2 days after treatment was stopped. Day 11 was Thursday, and thus, mice in the group that received voriconazole at 40 mg/kg three times per week (on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays) received voriconazole approximately 24 h earlier.
