Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve From Time Zero to Time t [AUC(0-t)]
AUC(0-t) was evaluated using the trapezoid rule.
Time frame: Blood samples taken pre-dose and post-dose at 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, and 50 minutes, and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours
Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration [Cmaximum (Max)]
Cmax was depicted from plasma concentration of nicotine.
Time frame: Blood samples taken pre-dose and post-dose at 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, and 50 minutes, and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours
AUC [0-infinity (Inf)]
AUC (0-inf) was evaluated using the trapezoid rule.
Time frame: Blood samples taken pre-dose and post-dose at 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, and 50 minutes, and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours
Time to Reach Maximum Plasma Nicotine Concentration (Tmax)
Tmax was time at which Cmax of nicotine was reached.
Time frame: Blood samples taken pre-dose and post-dose at 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, and 50 minutes, and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours
Apparent Elimination Half-life of Nicotine T(1/2)
T(1/2) was calculated using plasma time-concentration values.
Time frame: Blood samples taken pre-dose and post-dose at 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, and 50 minutes, and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours
Elimination Rate Constant for Plasma Nicotine: K (el)
Kel was calculated with the help of plasma time concentration values.
Time frame: Blood samples taken pre-dose and post-dose at 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, and 50 minutes, and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours
