Rats, dogs and monkeys were administered A-131701 at various doses either via the i.v. or p.o. route as described under “Methods.” At periodic sampling intervals thereafter, blood samples were drawn, plasma isolated and the concentration of A-131701 determined by high-performance liquid chromatography, as described under “Methods.” Data are expressed as means (standard deviation). * Harmonic mean; nf, unable to calculate plasma elimination half-life; nc, unable to calculate.
