Summary of primary pharmacokinetic parameters for PDA and HVA in 14 healthy volunteers

All study drugs were given orally. PROB was dosed 1 h prior to FSM administration in the coadministration treatment group. Pharmacokinetic parameters were determined as described in Materials and Methods. Data are shown as the mean ± S.D. The fu of HVA was not determined because the bioanalytical method could not achieve adequate sensitivity. As a result, the CLsec value was not calculated.

  • GMR, geometric mean ratio.

  • a GMR is back-transformed from log scale of the ratio of pharmacokinetic parameter in PROB alone treatment group over that in prestudy group. The 90% distribution CI of pharmacokinetic parameter is presented under 90% CI column.

  • b GMR is back-transformed from log scale of the ratio of pharmacokinetic parameter in the coadministration treatment group over that in FSM alone group. The 90% distribution CI of pharmacokinetic parameter is presented under the 90% CI column.

  • * P < 0.05;

  • ** P < 0.01, when the parameter was compared with prestudy or FSM alone.
