Pharmacokinetic parameters in rats after intravenous administration of PEG-Lipo-β-E and elemene injection

ParametersUnitsElemene injectionPEG-Lipo-β-E
AUC(0-t)mg/L*min69.951 ± 14.118*123.331 ± 3.265*
MRT(0-t)min17.175 ± 1.59115.989 ± 0.599
T1/2zmin15.964 ± 1.938*25.850 ± 0.609*
VzL/kg0.428 ± 0.2190.258 ± 0.046
CLzL/min/kg0.014 ± 0.003*0.008 ± 0.000*

The data are represented as the mean ± SD (n = 5). AUC, area under the concentration-time curve; MRT, mean residence time; T1/2z, half-life; Vz, steady-state apparent volume of distribution; CLz, clearance. *P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
