Each data represents the mean ± S.D. of three determinations, except for data in mice and, BA and AUC0-24h of EXP3174/losartan in rats.
Data in mice are calculated from the average plasma concentration of the three animals.
BA and AUC0-24h of EXP3174/losartan in rats are calculated using the average AUC0-24h of the three animals.
i.v., intravenous; p.o., peroral; Cmax, the peak plasma concentration; Tmax, the time to reach Cmax; t1/2, terminal elimination half-life; AUC0-24h, area under the plasma concentration
vs. time curve from 0 h to 24 h; Vd,ss, volume of distribution; CLtot, total body clearance; BA, bioavailability; N.C., not calculated.
