Abbreviations: CLint clearance intrinsic; Vc apparent central volume of distribution for INH; VP apparent peripheral volume of distribution for INH; Q/F apparent intercompartmental clearance for INH; Ka first-order rate constant of INH absorption; MTT absorption mean transit time; NN Number of absorption transit compartment; QH blood liver flow40; fu unbound fraction of isoniazid in plasma50.

a

95% confidence intervals (CIs) were obtained with the SIR procedure

b

Variability was modelled with log-normal distribution and is presented as an approximate percentage CV.

c

Clearance parameters are allometrically scaled based on fat-free mass (typical value reported for 39 kg which was the median fat-free mass weight of the study population)

d

Volume pf distribution parameters are scaled based on weight (typical value reported for 67 kg which was the median weight of the study population).

*
