The model was defined by two differential equations: A and C are the amounts of drug in the depot and central compartments, k a and k el are the first-order absorption and elimination rate constants, V/F is the volume of distribution, F is the bioavailability (assumed equal to one), and Cp is the drug concentration in the central compartment
