Package inserts of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved prescription drugs, including chemotherapy drugs, must follow a specific format imposed by the FDA.

Chemical and pharmacokinetic properties including absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADME/Tox) are crucial elements to a prescribing information packet and are often missing from the reported data. This undergraduate research project analyzes the information packets of 85 randomly chosen chemically diverse chemotherapy drugs for four parameters important to patient care; viz, volume of distribution (V
