In vivo:
In vivo studies indicate that AG1343 is well absorbed orally in a variety of species and possesses favorable pharmacokinetic properties in humans. Initial investigation of the compound in fed rats indicated an oral bioavailability of 43%. In contrast, the oral bioavailability was significantly reduced in fasted rats to 29%. Nelfinavir demonstrated significant oral bioavailabilability across a range of species including dogs (47%), marmosets (17%), and cynomolgus monkeys (26%). It has a long plasma half-life after oral dosing that is likely due to a combination of slow dissolution and absorption. nelfinavir is well absorbed in humans particularly when administered with food and possesses minimal and easily managed side effects[1].
