  1. Ka is the absorption rate constant, V1 and V2 are volumes of distribution in central and peripheral compartments, respectively, CL is body clearance, Q is inter-compartment clearance, MultiSD is multiplicative error term and it should be interpreted as a coefficient of variation, (here of 15%), SD is the additive component of the error term, BSV is between subject variability expressed as CV, Shrinkage refers to the quality of the estimated BSV. For the present study, an η-shrinkage lower than 0.4 has been considered as acceptable. AUCIV and AUCOral are area under the concentration–time curve after IV and oral dosing, respectively and Ka-HL is half-life of absorption. TV is the population typical value. The precision of parameters (SE) was computed by the bootstrap tool in Phoenix®.
