Maternal plasma, fetal plasma, and amniotic fluid were collected and analyzed using reversed-phase HPLC. Cpssm, maternal steady-state plasma concentration;Cpssf/Cpssm, fetal-to-maternal AZT plasma ratios at steady-state;Cpssf/AFss, fetal plasma-to-amniotic fluid ratios at steady-state.

  • 2-a Based on the calculations using data from table 1 and 2 μg/ml as the target steady-state plasma concentration.
