single observation
Dear nm-users,
I have a single concentration of a parent drug and single observation of 2
metabolites in plasma at steady. The drug is metabolized to more than 6
metabolites. I want to know the role of a covarite on metabolism. is there any
thing i missed in my input file
ka and Vd were fixed to a value. Vd of all metabolite were fixed to Vd of parent
COMP=DEPOT
COMP= PARENT
COMP= MET_1
COMP= MET_2
$ PK
KA= 2 FIX
V2= 10 FIX
TCL20=THETA(1)
CL20=TCL20*EXP(ETA(1) : for parent
CL23=THETA(2) + THETA(4)*Cov
CL20=TCLP*EXP(ETA(2) : for metab_1
TCL24=THETA(3) + THETA(5)*(THETA(4)*Cov)
CL24=TCL24*EXP(ETA(3): for metab_2
CL30=THETA(6)
CL40=THETA(7)
Also, based on only one observation, can i estimate apparent clearance of
metabolites? is there any model simplification?
many thanks for every feedback
