Evaluation of Systemic and Brain Pharmacokinetic Parameters for Repurposing Metformin Using Intravenous Bolus Administration [Drug Discovery and Translational Medicine]

ASPET

Yet, the absence of established systemic and brain pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters at relevant pre-clinical doses presents a significant knowledge gap. Intravenous (IV) bolus administration of metformin to C57BL6 mice covered low to high dose range maintaining pharmacological relevance.
