Linuron, a derivative of urea, is used as an herbicide. Linuron serum levels were measured in 4Kg rabbits following an oral Linuron dose of 400 mg/kg. Time (minutes) Serum Linuron Levels (ug/ml) following IV dose Serum Linuron Levels (ug/ml) following oral dose 5 1.71 10 15.48 2.00 15 2.11 20 8.60 1.75 30 5.90 1.26 45 3.78 0.92 60 2.42 0.72 90 1.49 0.51 120 0.93 0.41 180 0.60 0.34 240 0.41 0.28 300 0.29 0.24 360 0.22 0.20 420 0.17 480 0.14 Analyze this data and perform the necessary calculations to determine the following pharmacokinetic parameters from the oral Linuron data: (5 points per parameter, 23 parameters/variables = 115 points possible). You do NOT need to submit graphs or data tables. (The IV data is from HW4 but replicated here in case you didn't save your answers and need to redo part of it to determine the bioavailability).
