title: Compartment model of prenalterol.
abstract: In previous pharmacokinetic studies in healthy subjects the time course of plasma concentration of prenalterol was described by a short distribution phase (alpha-phase) with a mean half-life of about 8 minutes and an elimination phase (beta-phase) with an average half- life of about two hours [1, 2]. The aim of this joint study was to check the pharmacokinetic data obtained after intravenous single dose administration with the computer program TOPFIT [3] using different compartment models and to test the predictive power of the chosen kinetic model for plasma concentration data after repetitive intravenous prenalterol dosing.
