									▧ Absorption : 
Food increases exposure of boceprevir by up to 65% relative to fasting state. However, type of food and time of meal does not affect bioavailability of boceprevir and thus can be taken without regards to food.  
Tmax = 2 hours;
Time to steady state, three times a day dosing = 1 day;
Cmax, 400 mg single dose, healthy subject = 557 ng/mL;
AUC ∞, healthy subject = 2020 ng · h/mL;
▧ Volume of Distribution : 
~722 L
▧ Protein binding : 
~75%
▧ Metabolism : 
Hepatically metabolized by the aldo-ketoreductase pathway into inactive metabolites via reduction. To a lesser extent, CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 is also involved in the metabolism of boceprevir (oxidative process). 
▧ Route of Elimination : 
Removed via feces (79%) and urine (9%) which suggest some degree of hepatic excretion. 
▧ Half Life : 
Mean plasma half-life = 3.4 hours 
▧ Clearance : 
Mean total body clearance (Cl/F) = 161 L/h
