TABLE 1

Pharmacokinetic parameters for mice receiving i.v. SL-DXR at a dose of 9 mg/kg q1 week, q2 weeks, or q4 weeks The AUC values were calculated using the trapezoidal rule. Plasma and tissue t1/2 values were calculated using the formula t1/2 = 0.693/kelm, where kelm is the elimination constant derived from the plasma or tissue concentration versus time curve.
