“…The inversion recovery pulse sequence method was employed to measure the longitudinal relaxation time (T 1 ) of efavirenz, using the T 1 cal BRUKER program, via fitting the data to the exponential equation I = I 0 + P exp(-/T 1 ) (Shamsipur et al, 2007a), where I is the intensity of efavirenz resonance at inversion delay times (= 0, 10, 0.25, 0.75, 1.00, 2.50, 5.00, 7.50, 10.00, 15.00 and 20.00 s) and I 0 is that at the equilibrium state and P is a constant.. The T 1 value thus obtained for efavirenz was 1.69 ± 0.01 s.…”
