Dear Detlew!

❝ This seems to me like the discovery of a new fundamental law in pharmacokinetics :cool: or the other way round like a violation of fundamental pharmacokinetic relationships.


❝ AFAIK is the one-compartiment AUC formula

    AUCpo = f*C0/kel with C0=D/V

❝ where D is the dose, V the volume of the central compartment. If kel, D and V are the same you can't get the same AUC if your f = fraction absorbed is different.


Ouch, that hurts! Made a quick-shot yesterday – which is not a one-compartment model (in hybrid constant parameterisation), but not even a PK model at all:no:

Try:
Ct <- function(time, f, A, alpha, beta){ f*A*(exp(-beta*time)-exp(-alpha*time)) }
time <- c(0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 6, 9, 12, 16, 24)
R <- round(Ct(time, f=1,       A=100, alpha=0.6,   beta=0.1), 2)
T <- round(Ct(time, f=0.85552, A=100, alpha=3.905, beta=0.1), 2)
plot(time, R, type="b", xlim=c(0, 24), ylim=c(0, max(R, T)), ylab="conc.", axes=F)
points(time, T, type="b")
axis(side=1, at=seq(0, 24, by=4))
axis(side=2, at=seq(0, max(R,T), by=10))
box()
AUCt.pct <- round(100*(0.5*sum(diff(time)*(T[-1]+T[-length(T)]))) /
                      (0.5*sum(diff(time)*(R[-1]+R[-length(R)]))), 2)
Cmax.pct <- round(100*max(T)/max(R), 2)
cat("AUCt (T/R):", AUCt.pct, "%\nCmax (T/R):", Cmax.pct, "%\n")


The devil is in the details (the “A”). THX. Sorry. Shouldn’t forget to take my pills.
