TABLE 1

Pharmacokinetic parameters of 12 drugs in female SD rats

Female SD rats received a bolus intravenous injection of 0.2 mg/kg pitavastatin, 0.5 mg/kg rosuvastatin, 0.5 mg/kg valsartan, 0.08 mg/kg olmesartan, 0.08 mg/kg candesartan, 0.5 mg/kg temocaprilat, 0.5 mg/kg enalaprilat, 0.5 mg/kg benazeprilat, 2 mg/kg PCG, and 1 mg/kg ceftizoxime or constant infusion of pravastatin (76 mg/min/kg after intravenous administration of 0.67 mg/kg) and cefmetazole (0.1 mg/min/kg). The concentrations of drugs in plasma, bile, and urine were measured, and pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated. Each value is expressed as mean ± S.E. of four to five rats. No. for each compound corresponds to the numerical coding attached to each plot in all the figures.
