Förfaranden för in vivo bestämning av koncentrationen av NMR-detekterbara xenobiotiska föreningar

摘要

Methods wherein the concentration of NMR-detectable xenobiotic compounds may be determined in living subjects by in vivo measurement of one or more magnetic resonance signals. In preferred embodiments, the present invention provides a method for evaluating, in vivo, the clearance rate of a xenobiotic compound from a living subject, thereby providing a noninvasive method for determining the status of the excretory organs of the subject, and a method for determining the proper dosing regimen of a pharmacologically active compound to be administered to the subject.
