aCp is the first measurable concentration in plasma after dose administration.
bOne rat died immediately after iv dose administration, and results are derived from samples collected in two animals; no standard deviation is available.
cFor po administrations, V and Cl were calculated from V/F•F and Cl/F•F, respectively.
dThe bioavailability F is expressed as a percentage.
