โฆ Synopsis
A general method for calculating the mean transit times and distribution rate parameters is described. The calculations require the AUC, AUMC, and derivatives of the plasma concentration profiles of the metabolites and its precursor. The method is applicable to catenary metabolites with any precursor order and does not require separate administration of the metabolite. The approach is applied to published data for the primary and secondary metabolites of ketamine.

A method for calculating the mean residence times of metabolites in the body, systemic circulation, and peripheral tissue is described.

A method has been derived for calculating the mean absorption time of an oral drug and its interconversion metabolite which is generated from the drug systemically and presystemically. The method evolves from the convolution integral and requires plasma AUC and AUMC values after separate intravenous
