Biliary and urinary clearance of GPFX and its glucuronide based on plasma concentrations after a single i.v. dose of [14C]GPFX to normal rats and EHBR

Biliary Clearance (ml/min/kg)Urinary Clearance (ml/min/kg)
Parent3-GlucuronideParent3-Glucuronide
Normal rats1.79  ± 0.0515.53  ± 0.900.85  ± 0.410.86  ± 0.36
EHBR0.52  ± 0.01**0.09  ± 0.01**0.51  ± 0.110.65  ± 0.13
  • These clearance values were calculated by dividing the amount excreted over the period up to 120 min after an administration by the AUC(0–120 min) for the plasma concentrations.

  • Each point represents the mean ± S.E. of three rats.

  • ** P < .01 (significantly different from the corresponding excretion over 120 hr in normal rats using Student’s ttest).
