Dear Dan,

❝ [...] within the systemic circulation the active metabolite is about 5000-fold higher than the inactive parent drug.


I had figures in mind of about 2000-fold for the inactive carboxyacid metabolite. The few papers I have seen where the active thiol metabolite (H4) was measured indicate (on a limited population, after repeated administration) a much lower Cmax ratio. I didn't see any information on intra-CV of this metabolite (but I only browsed very quickly through the papers, and did not do an extensive review of litterature).

See these papers for more info:
