1892 has been selected from the literature, based on the scientific

judgment of the authors. Most data are in the

form of a study population mean value ± 1 standard

deviation (mean ± SD). However, some data are presented

as mean and range of values (in parentheses)

observed for the study population (i.e., the lowest and

highest value reported). There are times when data are

reported as a geometric mean with a 95% confidence

interval. If sufficient data were available, we presented

a range of mean values obtained from different studies

of similar design in parentheses, sometimes below the

primary study data. Occasionally, only a single mean

value for the study population was available in the literature

and is reported as such. Finally, some drugs can

be administered intravenously in an unmodified form

and orally as a prodrug. When relevant information

about both the prodrug and the active molecule are

needed, we have included both, using an abbreviation to

indicate the species that was measured, followed by

another abbreviation in parentheses to indicate the

species that was dosed [e.g., G (V) indicates a parameter

for ganciclovir after administration of the prodrug,

valganciclovir].

A number of recently approved drugs are actually

the active metabolite or stereoisomer of a previously

marketed drug. For example, desloratadine is the

O-desmethyl metabolite of loratadine, and esomperazole

is the active S-enantiomer of omeprazole. Unless

the parent drug and the active metabolite offer distinct

therapeutic advantages, only the more established or

more commonly used drug is listed, and relevant information

on its alternate active form is presented in the

same table. This approach has permitted us to include

more drugs in the Appendix, hopefully without undue

confusion. The only exception is with prednisone and

prednisolone, which undergo interconversion in the

body.

Unless otherwise indicated in footnotes, data

reported in the table are those determined in healthy

adults. The direction of change for these values in particular

disease states is noted below the average value.

One or more references are provided for each of the

established drugs, typically an original journal publication,

a review on its clinical pharmacokinetics, or webbased

drug database; the latter two secondary sources

provide a broader range of papers for the interested

reader. In some instances, we have relied on unpublished

data provided by the drug sponsor in its New

Drug Application (NDA) files or package labeling submitted

to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration

(FDA).

APPENDIX II

DESIGN AND OPTIMIZATION OF DOSAGE REGIMENS: PHARMACOKINETIC DATA

TABULATED PHARMACOKINETIC

PARAMETERS

Each of the eight parameters presented in Table AII–1

has been discussed in detail in Chapter 2. The following

discussion focuses on the format in which the values

are presented as well as on factors (physiological

or pathological) that influence the parameters.

Bioavailability. The extent of oral bioavailability is

expressed as a percentage of the administered dose.

This value represents the percentage of the administered

dose that is available to the systemic circulation—

the fraction of the oral dose that reaches the arterial

blood in an active or prodrug form, expressed as a percentage

(0-100). Fractional availability (F), which

appears elsewhere in this appendix, denotes the same

parameter; this value varies from 0-1. Measures of both

the extent and rate (see T max

) of availability are presented

in the table. The extent of availability is needed

for the design of an oral dosage regimen to achieve a

specific target blood concentration. Values for multiple

routes of administration are provided, when appropriate

and available. In most cases, the tabulated value represents

an absolute oral bioavailability that has been

determined from a comparison of area under the plasma

drug concentration–time curve (AUC) between the oral

dose and an intravenous reference dose. For those drugs

where intravenous administration is not feasible, an

approximate estimate of oral bioavailability based on

secondary information (e.g., urinary excretion of

unchanged drug, especially when the nonrenal route of

elimination is minimal) is presented, or the column is

left blank (denoted by a long dash [—]). A dash also

will appear when a drug is given by parenteral administration

only.

A low bioavailability may result from a poorly

formulated dosage form that fails to disintegrate or dissolve

in the gastrointestinal fluid, degradative loss of

drug in the gastrointestinal fluid, poor mucosal permeability,

first-pass metabolism during transit through the

intestinal epithelium, active efflux transport of drug

back into the lumen, or first-pass hepatic metabolism

or biliary excretion (see Chapter 2). In the case of drugs

with extensive first-pass metabolism, hepatic disease

may increase oral availability because hepatic metabolic

capacity decreases and/or because vascular shunts

develop around the liver.

Urinary Excretion of Unchanged Drug. The second parameter

in Table AII–1 is the amount of drug eventually

excreted unchanged in the urine, expressed as a
