Abstract
The stereoselective pharmacokinetics of ketoconazole (KTZ) enantiomers were studied in rat after i.v. and oral administration of (+/-)-KTZ. Sprague-Dawley rats were administered racemic KTZ as 10 mg/kg i.v. or orally over the range 10-80 mg/kg as single doses. Serial blood samples were collected over a 24-h period via surgically placed jugular vein cannulae. Plasma was assayed for KTZ enantiomer concentrations using stereospecific HPLC. Enantiomeric plasma protein binding was determined using an erythrocyte partitioning method at racemic concentrations of 10 and 40 mg/L. Stereoselective metabolism was tested by incubating the racemate (0.5-250 microM) with rat liver microsomes. In all rats, (+)-KTZ plasma concentrations were higher (up to 2.5-fold) than (-)-KTZ. The clearance and volume of distribution of the (-) enantiomer were approximately twofold higher than antipode. Half-life did not differ between the enantiomers. After oral doses the t(max) was not stereoselective. For both enantiomers with higher doses the respective half-life were found to increase. The mean unbound fraction of the (-) enantiomer was found to be up to threefold higher than that of the (+) enantiomer. At higher concentrations nonlinearity in plasma protein binding was observed for both enantiomers. There was no evidence of stereoselective metabolism by liver microsomes. Stereoselectivity in KTZ pharmacokinetics is attributable to plasma protein binding, although other processes such as transport or intestinal metabolism may also contribute.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
