Abstract:
Concentrations of 3'-fluoro-3'-deoxythymidine (FDT) and 3'-deoxy-2',3'-didehydrothymidine (D4T) in plasma declined in a biexponential fashion. Total clearance of D4T (1.75 +/- 0.22 liters/h/kg; mean +/- standard deviation) was significantly greater than that of FDT (1.19 +/- 0.19 liters/h/kg) owing to greater renal and nonrenal clearances of the former. Steady-state volumes of distribution of FDT (1.20 +/- 0.12 liters/kg) and D4T (1.07 +/- 0.15 liters/kg) were similar.
