Human Vss after intravenous dosing and estimates of human Vss from tissue composition approaches

Scenario 1: Rodgers and Rowland method (using BPR to estimate acidic phospholipid affinity) (Rodgers et al., 2005a); scenario 2: Poulin and Theil method (Poulin and Theil, 2000); scenario 3: Poulin and Theil method using the modifications suggested by Berezhkovskiy (2004); and scenario 4: Rodgers and Rowland method using SPR data to estimate acidic phospholipid affinity.

  • a Vss for UK-390957 was 398 ± 75 liters (mean ± S.D.; n = 15 individuals); mean body weight for the individuals was 76.7 kg.

  • b A blood/plasma concentration ratio of 3.5 was used in the calculation because plasma concentrations were <100 ng/ml in the clinical study with UK-390957.
