  • ADME, absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion.

  • a Exposure multiples were calculated by dividing Cmax or AUC values in animals by that in humans.

  • b Data are milligrams per subject.

  • c Concentration is estimated from the relative distribution of the parent or acyl glucuronide metabolites in the plasma, the total concentration of radioactivity, and the specific activity of the administered drug; AUC0–t is estimated from the concentration in plasma at limited time points (1, 4, and 12 h) using the trapezoidal rule.

  • d Doses are the highest dose from the 6-month rat, 3-month mouse, and 1-year monkey toxicology studies.

  • e Concentration and AUC values are scaled linearly with regard to dose values in ADME studies.

  • f Highest projected doses for the carcinogenicity studies.
