TABLE 2

Compartmental PK parameter estimates based on simultaneous fitting of concentrations in brain ECF and unbound concentrations in plasma

The mean (% CV) calculated from the estimates obtained from fitting of individual animal data are presented; n = 4 rats for each compound.

  • * Vb,u estimates = 1/fu,b and were fixed during the modeling. For escitalopram, fu,b was 3.1% and taken from Bundgaard et al. (2007a). For clozapine, N-desmethylclozapine, and risperidone, fu,b estimates were 0.8 (2), 0.7 (10), and 6.5% (8), respectively [mean (% CV)].
