Abstract
Exposure routes are important for health risk assessment of chemical risks. The application of physiologically based toxicokinetic (PBTK) models to predict concentrations in vivo can determine the effects of harmful substances and tissue accumulation on the premise of saving experimental costs. In this study, Tri(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP), an organophosphate ester (OPE), was used as an example to study the PBTK model of mice exposed to different exposure doses by multiple routes. Different routes of exposure (gavage and intradermal injection) can cause differences in the concentration of chemicals in the organs. TCEP that enters the body through the mouth is mainly concentrated in the gastrointestinal tract and liver. However, the concentrations of chemicals that enter the skin into the mice are higher in skin, rest of body, and blood. In addition, TCEP was absorbed and accumulated very rapidly in mice, within half an hour after a single exposure. We have successfully established a mouse PBTK model of the TCEP accounting for multiple exposure Routes and obtained a series of kinetic parameters. The model includes blood, liver, kidney, stomach, intestine, skin, and rest of body compartments. Oral and dermal exposure route was considered for PBTK model. The PBTK model established in this study has a good predictive ability. More than 70% of the predicted values deviated from the measured values by less than 5-fold. In addition, we extrapolated the model to humans. A human PBTK model is built. We performed a health risk assessment for world populations based on human PBTK model. The risk of TCEP in dust is greater through mouth than through skin. The risk of TCEP in food of Chinese population is greater than dust.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling is a computational approach that simulates the anatomical structure of the studied species and presents the organs and tissues as compartments interconnected by arterial and venous blood flows. AIM The aim of this systematic review was to analyze the published articles focused on the development of PBPK models for interspecies extrapolation in the disposition of drugs and health risk assessment, presenting to this modeling an alternative to reduce the use of animals. METHODS For this purpose, a systematic search was performed in PubMed using the following search terms: "PBPK" and "Interspecies extrapolation". The revision was performed according to PRISMA guidelines. RESULTS In the analysis of the articles, it was found that rats and mice are the most commonly used animal models in the PBPK models; however, most of the physiological and physicochemical information used in the reviewed studies were obtained from previous publications. Additionally, most of the PBPK models were developed to extrapolate pharmacokinetic parameters to humans and the main application of the models was for toxicity testing. CONCLUSION PBPK modeling is an alternative that allows the integration of in vitro and in silico data as well as parameters reported in the literature to predict the pharmacokinetics of chemical substances, reducing in large quantity the use of animals that are required in traditional studies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The unbound brain extracelullar fluid (brainECF) to plasma steady state partition coefficient, Kp,uu,BBB, values provide steady-state information on the extent of blood-brain barrier (BBB) transport equilibration, but not on pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles seen by the brain targets. Mouse models are frequently used to study brain PK, but this information cannot directly be used to inform on human brain PK, given the different CNS physiology of mouse and human. Physiologically based PK (PBPK) models are useful to translate PK information across species. AIM Use the LeiCNS-PK3.0 PBPK model, to predict brain extracellular fluid PK in mice. METHODS Information on mouse brain physiology was collected from literature. All available connected data on unbound plasma, brainECF PK of 10 drugs (cyclophosphamide, quinidine, erlotonib, phenobarbital, colchicine, ribociclib, topotecan, cefradroxil, prexasertib, and methotrexate) from different mouse strains were used. Dosing regimen dependent plasma PK was modelled, and Kpuu,BBB values were estimated, and provided as input into the LeiCNS-PK3.0 model to result in prediction of PK profiles in brainECF. RESULTS Overall, the model gave an adequate prediction of the brainECF PK profile for 7 out of the 10 drugs. For 7 drugs, the predicted versus observed brainECF data was within two-fold error limit and the other 2 drugs were within five-fold error limit. CONCLUSION The current version of the mouse LeiCNS-PK3.0 model seems to reasonably predict available information on brainECF from healthy mice for most drugs. This brings the translation between mouse and human brain PK one step further.

Abstract
There has been an increased public interest in developing consumer products containing nonintoxicating cannabinoids, such as cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabigerol (CBG). At the present time, there is limited information available on the pharmacokinetics of cannabinoids in humans. Since pharmacokinetic profiles are important in understanding the pharmacological and toxicological effects at the target sites, physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling was used to predict the plasma and tissue concentrations of 17 cannabinoids in humans. PBPK models were established using measured (in vitro) and predicted (in silico) physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties, such as water solubility and effective human jejunal permeability. Initially, PBPK models were established for CBD and the model performance was evaluated using reported clinical data after intravenous and oral administration. PBPK models were then developed for 16 additional cannabinoids including CBG, and the plasma and tissue concentrations were predicted after 30 mg oral administration. The pharmacokinetic profiles of the 16 cannabinoids were similar to CBD, and the plasma concentration and time profiles of CBD agreed well with clinical data in the literature. Although low exposure was predicted in the plasma (maximum plasma concentrations < 15 nM), the predicted tissue concentrations, especially the liver (maximum liver concentrations 70-183 nM), were higher after oral administration of 30 mg cannabinoids. These predicted plasma and tissue concentrations could be used to guide further in vitro and in vivo testing.

Abstract
Selonsertib is a first-in-class apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) inhibitor in clinical trials for treating NASH and diabetic kidney disease due to its anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic activities. In the present study, we investigated the anti-neuroinflammatory effects and brain pharmacokinetic properties of selonsertib. It inhibited inflammatory cytokines and NO production by suppressing phosphorylated ASK1 in the LPS-stimulated microglial cell line, BV2 cells. Consistent with the in vitro results, selonsertib attenuated plasma and brain TNF-α levels in the LPS-induced murine neuroinflammation model. In vitro and in vivo pharmacokinetic studies of selonsertib were conducted in support of central nervous system (CNS) drug discovery. In both Caco-2 and MDR-MDCK cells, selonsertib exhibited a high efflux ratio, showing that it is a P-gp substrate. Selonsertib was rapidly and effectively absorbed into the systemic circulation after oral treatment, with a Tmax of 0.5 h and oral bioavailability of 74%. In comparison with high systemic exposure with Cmax of 16.2 µg/ml and AUC of 64 µg·h/mL following oral dosing of 10 mg/kg, the brain disposition of selonsertib was limited, with Cmax of 0.08 µg/g and Kp value of 0.004. This study demonstrates that selonsertib can be a therapeutic agent for neuroinflammatory diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE ∆9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) exhibits several therapeutic effects, such as analgesics, anti-emetic, antispastic, and muscle relaxation properties. Knowledge concerning THC disposition in target organs is crucial for THC therapy. The objective of this study was to develop a physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model of THC in humans to characterize tissue-specific pharmacokinetics of THC in organs of interest. METHODS The model was extrapolated from the previously developed PBPK model conducted in mice, rats, and pigs. The model consisted of seven compartments: brain, lungs, liver, kidneys, fat, and rapidly perfused and slowly perfused tissues. P-glycoprotein was included in the brain compartment to characterize an efflux of THC from the brain. Physiologic, biochemical, and physicochemical parameters were determined and acquired from the literature. Model validation was performed by comparisons of the predicted and observed THC concentrations acquired from published studies. RESULTS The developed PBPK model resulted in good agreement between the predicted and observed THC concentrations across several studies conducted following IV bolus, IV infusion, oral, and smoking and inhalation, with the coefficient of determination (R2) ranging from 0.54 to 0.95. CONCLUSIONS A PBPK model of THC in humans was developed. The model could describe THC concentration-time profiles in several dosing scenarios (i.e., IV bolus, IV infusion, oral administration and inhalation).

Abstract
Mitragynine is a major psychoactive alkaloid in leaves of kratom (Mitragyna speciosa Korth.). To understand its disposition in organs, this study aimed to develop a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model that predicts mitragynine concentrations in plasma and organ of interests in rats and humans. The PBPK model consisted of six organ compartments (i.e. lung, brain, liver, fat, slowly perfused tissues, and rapidly perfused tissue). From systematic searching, three pharmacokinetic studies of mitragynine (two studies in rats and 1 study in humans) were retrieved from the literature. Berkeley Madonna Software (version 8.3.18) was used for model development and model simulation. The developed PBPK model consisted of biologically relevant features following involvement of (i) breast cancer-resistant protein (BCRP) in brain, (ii) a hepatic cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4)-mediated metabolism in the liver, and (iii) a diffusion-limited transport in fat. The simulations adequately describe simulated and observed data in the two species with different dosing regimens. PBPK models of mitragynine in rats and humans were successfully developed. The models may be used to guide optimal mitragynine dosing regimens.
