  1. Cmax, peak plasma concentration; Tmax, time to peak concentration; AUC0 − t, area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to the last measurable concentration; AUC0 − inf, area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinite; CL/F, apparent clearance; t1/2, terminal elimination half-life; Vd/F, apparent volume of distribution; /, nonapplicable; *, The AUCinf average was calculated from two mice, as AUCinf could not be estimated for another two animals due to the absence of a measurable terminal elimination phase.
