Fig. 2. Pharmacokinetic curves built using the model (shown in black) compared with experimental data for the brain, the liver and the heart (Khm = 0.50; Klp = 2; Khp = 0.50; Klm = 6; Khm = 0.50; Ke = 0.077; Kbp = 0.70; Kbm = 0.70; Kism = 0.10; Kisp = 0.10)
Table 1. CZE system calibration: correlation of the internal standard content and optical density values of the identified РМС16 fractions (Rt = 7.0 min)
Note: CZE-analyzed samples comprised S125 aceton-soluble cytosolic pool mixed in a known proportion with NP (1.0–1000.0 ng/mg of the total cytosolic protein). Correlation coefficient r = 0.86; n = 6. NP retention time (effective migration) Rt = 7.0 min. CZE-analyzed sample: S125 aceton-soluble pool mixed in a known proportion with the target compound PMC16–RX (1.0–200.0 ng/mg of protein). Correlation coefficient r = 0.86; n = 6.

Note: 20 mg of PMC16-RX per 1.0 kg rat body weight intravenously, measured 12 h post-injection.
