    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacokinetics
    • Computational Chemistry

    Background:

    • Accurate area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) calculation is vital in pharmacokinetic studies.
    • Existing methods may be cumbersome or require specialized software.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a user-friendly program for pharmacokinetic area analysis.
    • To enable calculation of AUC within defined limits and extrapolation to infinite time.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a program for the Hewlett-Packard HP41C hand-held programmable calculator.
    • Input of concentration-time data.
    • Calculation of AUC using defined time limits and terminal phase slope for extrapolation.

    Main Results:

    • The program allows simple input of concentration-time data.
    • There is no limit to the number of data points that can be entered.
    • The program calculates AUC both within defined limits and extrapolated to infinite time.

    Conclusions:

    • A practical and accessible tool for pharmacokinetic area analysis is provided.
    • The program simplifies a key calculation in drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion studies.
