  • a Time is expressed relative to the final tigecycline dose.

  • b N.D. indicates that the metabolite was below the limit of detection (2.1 ng/ml).

  • c Values for serum are mean ± S.D. of concentration in serum (ng/ml).

  • d Values for urine are mean ± S.D. of amount of compound excreted in each urine collection (μg).
