VD as a fraction of another VD
Dear NMusers,
Hi, I have data of a parent drug (intravenously administered) and its
metabolite, ¿How can I code the volume of distribution of metabolite as a
fraction of the central volume of parent?
An example of the model that I want to fit is:
$PK
V1=THETA(1)*EXP(ETA(1)) ; Central Volume of parent
V2=THETA(2)*EXP(ETA(2)) ; Peripheral Volume of parent
Q=THETA(3) ; intercompartmental clearance
V3= ???????????? ; Volume of metabolite as a fraction of V1 with variability
CL1=THETA(5)*EXP(ETA(4)) ; Formation clearance of metabolite
CL2=THETA(6)*EXP(ETA(5)) ; Elimination clearance of metabolite
CL0=THETA(7)*EXP(ETA(6)) ; Parent drug excretion by routes other than formation
of metabolite
- Thank you in advance.
Orlando.
