Decomposition of pharmacological activity indices into mutually independent components using principal component
Abstract:
Various subsets of pharmacological activity indices of benzodiazepines, of 8-quinolinol derivatives, and of rifamycin B amides were decomposed into mutually independent components by using principal component analysis. The activites not included into the subset were considered as the dependent variables. In three out of the six cases with a fair correlation coefficient (r less than or equal to 0.9) between pairs of primary pharmacological indices, the main component obtained by the decomposition procedure showed significantly higher correlation with the dependent variable than any of the original pharmacological activity indices. Factors, explaining a rather low portion of the total sample variance of the subset, may still account for important secondary effects.

Analysis Methods of Pharmacokinetic Data: Model and Model-Independent Approaches
The model approach uses mathematical models to describe changes in drug concentration over time. Pharmacokinetic models help characterize drug behavior in patients, predict drug concentration in the body fluids, calculate optimum dosage regimens, and evaluate the risk of toxicity. However, ensuring that the model fits the experimental data accurately...

Noncompartmental Analysis: Miscellaneous Pharmacokinetic Parameters
One key aspect of the noncompartmental approach is determining a drug's total clearance. This can be done by dividing the drug dose by the area under the concentration-time curve from zero to infinity. The area under the concentration-time curve represents the drug's overall...
