Symbols in pharmacokinetics

M Rowland, G Tucker

    Journal of Pharmacokinetics and Biopharmaceutics
    |October 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    A new general nomenclature system promotes consistent pharmacokinetic data presentation. This flexible system uses variables, constants, and subscripts for clear scientific communication.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacokinetics
    • Scientific Communication
    • Data Standardization

    Background:

    • Inconsistent presentation of pharmacokinetic data hinders scientific understanding and collaboration.
    • Lack of a standardized nomenclature complicates the interpretation of drug behavior in the body.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a general nomenclature for the uniform presentation of pharmacokinetic data.
    • To establish a flexible system applicable across various pharmacokinetic studies.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a nomenclature system incorporating general variables, constants, and qualifying terms.
    • Utilization of subscripts and implied terms for symbol simplification.

    Main Results:

    • A flexible and widely applicable nomenclature system has been established.
    • The system simplifies the representation of common pharmacokinetic variables and constants.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed nomenclature encourages uniformity in pharmacokinetic data reporting.
    • This standardization facilitates clearer interpretation and broader application of pharmacokinetic findings.
