PK parameters of 7OH MTX

PK parameters are presented as the mean ± S.D. (n = 5). The raw data were log-transformed and the significant difference analysis was done on the transformed data.

t1/2 (h)0.91 ± 0.290.99 ± 0.19
AUC (μg/ml*h)13.1 ± 4.644.2 ± 25.6*

  • See the illustration in Fig. 5 for details. CL, clearance; MRT0–t, mean residence time from time zero extrapolated until the end of the dosing interval; NA, not applicable; t1/2, elimination half-life.

  • * P < 0.01 (differences between four groups were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance).
