  • ACD, Advanced Chemistry Development (ACD/Laboratories, Toronto, ON) software version 11.02 (SciFinder 2007.1); ADAM, advanced dissolution, absorption, and metabolism model; fu,gut, fraction unbound in the gut; P, partition coefficient; pKa, acid dissociation constant; PSpd, passive diffusion intrinsic clearance; PSinflux,active, sinusoidal active uptake; SCHH, sandwich-cultured human hepatocyte.

  • a Estimated by fitting to intravenous pharmacokinetics data (PBPK model) or in vivo CLint,h (static model). See Materials and Methods.

  • b CLint,h from intravenous hepatic blood clearance (CLh) was calculated using CLint,h = CLh/[fu,b × (1−CLh/Qh)].

  • c In vitro fmCYP3A4 equaling to 0.29.

  • d Input parameters were directly adopted from compound files of the Simcyp compound library.
