Abstract
The development of technology and the processing speed of computing machines have facilitated the evaluation of advanced pharmacokinetic (PK) models, making modeling processes simple and faster. The present model aims to analyze the PK of brivaracetam (BRV) in healthy and diseased populations. A comprehensive literature review was conducted to incorporate the BRV plasma concentration data and its input parameters into PK-Sim software, leading to the creation of intravenous (IV) and oral models for both populations. The developed physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model of BRV was then assessed using the visual predictive checks, mean observed/predicted ratios (Robs/pre), and average fold error for PK parameters including the maximum systemic concentration (Cmax), the area under the curve at time 0 to t (AUC0-∞), and drug clearance (CL). The PBPK model of BRV demonstrated that mean Robs/pre ratios of the PK parameters remained within the acceptable limits when assessed against a twofold error margin. Furthermore, model predictions were carried out to assess how AUC0-∞ is affected following the administration of BRV in individuals with varying degrees of liver cirrhosis, ranging from different child-pugh (CP) scores like A, B, and C. Moreover, dose adjustments were recommended by considering the variations in Cmax and CL in various kidney disease stages (mild to severe).

Predicting the in vivo developmental toxicity of fenarimol from in vitro toxicity data using PBTK modelling-facilitated reverse dosimetry approach. Toxicol Appl Pharmacol 2024; 484:116879. [PMID: 38431230 DOI: 10.1016/j.taap.2024.116879] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2023] [Revised: 02/21/2024] [Accepted: 02/27/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
In vitro methods are widely used in modern toxicological testing; however, the data cannot be directly employed for risk assessment. In vivo toxicity of chemicals can be predicted from in vitro data using physiologically based toxicokinetic (PBTK) modelling-facilitated reverse dosimetry (PBTK-RD). In this study, a minimal-PBTK model was constructed to predict the in-vivo kinetic profile of fenarimol (FNL) in rats and humans. The model was verified by comparing the observed and predicted pharmacokinetics of FNL for rats (calibrator) and further applied to humans. Using the PBTK-RD approach, the reported in vitro developmental toxicity data for FNL was translated to in vivo dose-response data to predict the assay equivalent oral dose in rats and humans. The predicted assay equivalent rat oral dose (36.46 mg/kg) was comparable to the literature reported in vivo BMD10 value (22.8 mg/kg). The model was also employed to derive the chemical-specific adjustment factor (CSAF) for interspecies toxicokinetics variability of FNL. Further, Monte Carlo simulations were performed to predict the population variability in the plasma concentration of FNL and to derive CSAF for intersubject human kinetic differences. The comparison of CSAF values for interspecies and intersubject toxicokinetic variability with their respective default values revealed that the applied uncertainty factors were adequately protective.

Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modelling of oral drug absorption in older adults - an AGePOP review. Eur J Pharm Sci 2023; 188:106496. [PMID: 37329924 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejps.2023.106496] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2023] [Revised: 06/06/2023] [Accepted: 06/14/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
The older population consisting of persons aged 65 years or older is the fastest-growing population group and also the major consumer of pharmaceutical products. Due to the heterogenous ageing process, this age group shows high interindividual variability in the dose-exposure-response relationship and, thus, a prediction of drug safety and efficacy is challenging. Although physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modelling is a well-established tool to inform and confirm drug dosing strategies during drug development for special population groups, age-related changes in absorption are poorly accounted for in current PBPK models. The purpose of this review is to summarise the current state-of-knowledge in terms of physiological changes with increasing age that can influence the oral absorption of dosage forms. The capacity of common PBPK platforms to incorporate these changes and describe the older population is also discussed, as well as the implications of extrinsic factors such as drug-drug interactions associated with polypharmacy on the model development process. The future potential of this field will rely on addressing the gaps identified in this article, which can subsequently supplement in-vitro and in-vivo data for more robust decision-making on the adequacy of the formulation for use in older adults and inform pharmacotherapy.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid membrane bound-cell-derived structures that are a key player in intercellular communication and facilitate numerous cellular functions such as tumor growth, metastasis, immunosuppression, and angiogenesis. They can be used as a drug delivery platform because they can protect drugs from degradation and target specific cells or tissues. With the advancement in the technologies and methods in EV research, EV-therapeutics are one of the fast-growing domains in the human health sector. Therapeutic translation of EVs in clinics requires assessing the quality, safety, and efficacy of the EVs, in which pharmacokinetics is very crucial. We report here the application of physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling as a principal tool for the prediction of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of EVs. To create a PBPK model of EVs, researchers would need to gather data on the size, shape, and composition of the EVs, as well as the physiological processes that affect their behavior in the body. The PBPK model would then be used to predict the pharmacokinetics of drugs delivered via EVs, such as the rate at which the drug is absorbed and distributed throughout the body, the rate at which it is metabolized and eliminated, and the maximum concentration of the drug in the body. This information can be used to optimize the design of EV-based drug delivery systems, including the size and composition of the EVs, the route of administration, and the dose of the drug. There has not been any dedicated review article that describes the PBPK modeling of EV. This review provides an overview of the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) phenomena of EVs. In addition, we will briefly describe the different computer-based modeling approaches that may help in the future of EV-based therapeutic research.

Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Model To Predict Metoprolol Disposition in Healthy and Disease Populations. ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:29302-29313.

Abstract
The evolution in the development of drugs has increased the popularity of physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models. This study seeks to assess the PK of metoprolol in populations with healthy, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) conditions by developing and evaluating PBPK models. An extensive literature review for identifying and selecting plasma concentration vs time profile data and other drug-related parameters was undergone for their integration into the PK-Sim program followed by the development of intravenous, oral, and diseased models. The developed PBPK model of metoprolol was then evaluated using the visual predictive checks, mean observed/predicted ratios (Robs/pre), and average fold error for all PK parameters, i.e., the area under the curve (AUC), maximal plasma concentration, and clearance. The model evaluation depicted that none of the PK parameters were out of the allowed range (2-fold error) in the case of the mean Robs/pre ratios. The model anticipations were executed to determine the influence of diseases on unbound and total AUC after the application of metoprolol in healthy, moderate, and severe CKD. The dosage reductions were also suggested based on differences in unbound and total AUC in different stages of CKD. The developed PBPK models have successfully elaborated the PK changes of metoprolol occurring in healthy individuals and those with renal and heart diseases (CKD & AMI), which may be fruitful for dose optimization among diseased patients.

Abstract
Encorafenib, a potent BRAF kinase inhibitor gets significantly metabolised by CYP3A4 (83%) and CYP2C19 (16%) and is a substrate for P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Due to significant metabolism by CYP3A4, encorafenib exposure can increase in hepatic and renal impairment and may lead to altered magnitude of drug-drug interactions (DDI). Hence, it is necessary to assess the exposures & DDI's in impaired population.Physiologically based pharmacokinetic modelling (PBPK) was utilised to determine the exposures of encorafenib in hepatic and renal impairment along with altered DDI's. Prospective DDI's were predicted with USFDA recommended clinical CYP3A4, CYP2C19, P-gp inhibitors and CYP3A4 inducers.PBPK models for encorafenib, perpetrators simulated PK parameters within 2-folds error. Encorafenib exposures significantly increased in hepatic as compared to renal impairment because of reduced CYP3A4 levels.Hepatic impairment caused changes in inhibition and induction DDI's, when compared to healthy population. Renal impairment did not cause significant changes in DDIs except for itraconazole. P-gp, CYP2C19 inhibitors did not result in altered DDI's. The DDI's were found to have insignificant correlation with relative exposure increase of perpetrators in case of impairment. Overall, this work signifies use of PBPK modelling for DDI's evaluations in hepatic and renal impairment populations.

Abstract
Encorafenib, a potent BRAF kinase inhibitor undergoes significant metabolism by CYP3A4 (83%) and CYP2C19 (16%) and also a substrate of P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Because of this, encorafenib possesses potential for enzyme-transporter related interactions. Clinically, its drug-drug interactions (DDIs) with CYP3A4 inhibitors (posaconazole, diltiazem) were reported and hence there is a necessity to study DDIs with multiple enzyme inhibitors, inducers, and P-gp inhibitors.USFDA recommended clinical CYP3A4, CYP2C19, P-gp inhibitors, CYP3A4 inducers were selected and prospective DDIs were simulated using physiologically based pharmacokinetic modelling (PBPK). Impact of dose (50 mg vs. 300 mg) and staggering of administrations (0-10 h) on the DDIs were predicted.PBPK models for encorafenib, perpetrators simulated PK parameters within twofold prediction error. Clinically reported DDIs with posaconazole and diltiazem were successfully predicted.CYP2C19 inhibitors did not result in significant DDI whereas strong CYP3A4 inhibitors resulted in DDI ratio up to 4.5. Combining CYP3A4, CYP2C19 inhibitors yielded DDI equivalent CYP3A4 alone. Strong CYP3A4 inducers yielded DDI ratio up to 0.3 and no impact of P-gp inhibitors on DDIs was observed. The DDIs were not impacted by dose and staggering of administration. Overall, this work indicated significance of PBPK modelling for evaluating clinical DDIs with enzymes, transporters and interplay.

Abstract
Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models are mechanistic tools generally employed in the pharmaceutical industry and environmental health risk assessment. These models are recognized by regulatory authorities for predicting organ concentration-time profiles, pharmacokinetics and daily intake dose of xenobiotics. The extension of PBPK models to capture sensitive populations such as pediatric, geriatric, pregnant females, fetus, etc., and diseased populations such as those with renal impairment, liver cirrhosis, etc., is a must. However, the current modelling practices and existing models are not mature enough to confidently predict the risk in these populations. A multidisciplinary collaboration between clinicians, experimental and modeler scientist is vital to improve the physiology and calculation of biochemical parameters for integrating knowledge and refining existing PBPK models. Specific PBPK covering compartments such as cerebrospinal fluid and the hippocampus are required to gain mechanistic understanding about xenobiotic disposition in these sub-parts. The PBPK model assists in building quantitative adverse outcome pathways (qAOPs) for several endpoints such as developmental neurotoxicity (DNT), hepatotoxicity and cardiotoxicity. Machine learning algorithms can predict physicochemical parameters required to develop in silico models where experimental data are unavailable. Integrating machine learning with PBPK carries the potential to revolutionize the field of drug discovery and development and environmental risk. Overall, this review tried to summarize the recent developments in the in-silico models, building of qAOPs and use of machine learning for improving existing models, along with a regulatory perspective. This review can act as a guide for toxicologists who wish to build their careers in kinetic modeling.

Physiologically-based pharmacokinetic model to investigate the effect of pregnancy on risperidone and paliperidone pharmacokinetics: Application to a pregnant woman and her neonate. Clin Transl Sci 2023; 16:618-630. [PMID: 36655374 PMCID: PMC10087078 DOI: 10.1111/cts.13473] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2022] [Revised: 11/24/2022] [Accepted: 11/29/2022] [Indexed: 01/20/2023] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to determine the effects of pregnancy and ontogeny on risperidone and paliperidone pharmacokinetics by assessing their serum concentrations in two subjects and constructing a customized physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model. Risperidone and paliperidone serum concentrations were determined in a pregnant woman and her newborn. PBPK models for risperidone and paliperidone in adults, pediatric, and pregnant populations were developed and verified using the Simcyp simulator. These models were then applied to our two subjects, generating their "virtual twins." Effects of pregnancy on both drugs were examined using models with fixed pharmacokinetic parameters. In the neonatal PBPK simulation, 10 different models for estimating the renal function of neonates were evaluated. Risperidone was not detected in the serum of both pregnant woman and her newborn. Maternal and neonatal serum paliperidone concentrations were between 2.05-3.80 and 0.82-1.03 ng/ml, respectively. Developed PBPK models accurately predicted paliperidone's pharmacokinetics, as shown by minimal bias and acceptable precision across populations. The individualized maternal model predicted all observed paliperidone concentrations within the 90% prediction interval. Fixed-parameter simulations showed that CYP2D6 activity largely affects risperidone and paliperidone pharmacokinetics during pregnancy. The Flanders metadata equation showed the lowest absolute bias (mean error: 22.3% ± 6.0%) and the greatest precision (root mean square error: 23.8%) in predicting paliperidone plasma concentration in the neonatal population. Our constructed PBPK model can predict risperidone and paliperidone pharmacokinetics in pregnant and neonatal populations, which could help with precision dosing using the PBPK model-informed approach in special populations.

Assessment of Aging-Related Function Variations of P-gp Transporter in Old-Elderly Chinese CHF Patients Based on Modeling and Simulation. Clin Pharmacokinet 2022; 61:1789-1800. [PMID: 36378486 DOI: 10.1007/s40262-022-01184-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 10/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is one of the most intensely studied transporters owing to its broad tissue distribution and substrate specificity. Existing research suggests that the risk of systemic exposure to dabigatran etexilate (DABE) and digoxin, two P-gp probe substrates in vivo, has significantly increased in elderly patients. We applied a model-based quantitative pharmacological approach to assess aging-related P-gp changes in the Chinese old-elderly population. METHODS Population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) modeling was first performed using clinical pharmacokinetic data to explore the effect of age on the pharmacokinetic characteristics of dabigatran (DAB, the active principle of DABE) and digoxin in elderly Chinese patients. Corresponding physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models were established to further explain the elevated systemic exposure to these two drugs. Eventually, standard dosing regimens of DABE and digoxin were assessed in Chinese old-elderly patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) with different stages of renal impairment. RESULTS PopPK analysis suggested that age as a covariate had an additional effect on the apparent clearance of these two drugs after correcting for creatinine clearance. PBPK simulation results suggested that disease-specific pathophysiological changes could explain DAB exposure in the young elderly. In the elderly population, 17.1% of elevated DAB exposure remained unexplained, and 25.5% of the reduced P-gp function associated with aging was ultimately obtained using sensitivity analysis. This value was further validated using digoxin data obtained by PBPK modeling. The simulation results suggest that CHF patients with advanced age and moderate-to-severe renal impairment require heightened vigilance for elevated exposure risk during the use of DABE and digoxin. CONCLUSIONS Aging might be a significant risk factor for elevated systemic exposure to DAB and digoxin by reducing P-gp-mediated efflux in the Chinese old elderly population.

Abstract
Background: Propylthiouracil (PTU) treats hyperthyroidism and thyroid crisis in all age groups. A variety of serious adverse effects can occur during clinical use and require attention to its pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics in various populations.Objective: To provide information for individualized dosing and clinical evaluation of PTU in the clinical setting by developing a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model, predicting ADME characteristics, and extrapolating to elderly and pediatric populations.Methods: Relevant databases and literature were retrieved to collect PTU’s pharmacochemical properties and ADME parameters, etc. A PBPK model for adults was developed using PK-Sim® software to predict tissue distribution and extrapolated to elderly and pediatric populations. The mean fold error (MFE) method was used to compare the differences between predicted and observed values to assess the accuracy of the PBPK model. The model was validated using PTU pharmacokinetic data in healthy adult populations.Result: The MFE ratios of predicted to observed values of AUC0-t, Cmax, and Tmax were mainly within 0.5 and 2. PTU concentrations in various tissues are lower than venous plasma concentrations. Compared to healthy adults, the pediatric population requires quantitative adjustment to the appropriate dose to achieve the same plasma exposure levels, while the elderly do not require dose adjustments.Conclusion: The PBPK model of PTU was successfully developed, externally validated, and applied to tissue distribution prediction and special population extrapolation, which provides a reference for clinical individualized drug administration and evaluation.

Wang Z, Chan ECY. Physiologically-Based Pharmacokinetic Modelling to Investigate Baricitinib and Tofacitinib Dosing Recommendations for COVID-19 in Geriatrics. Clin Pharmacol Ther 2022; 112:291-296. [PMID: 35380176 PMCID: PMC9087009 DOI: 10.1002/cpt.2600] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2021] [Accepted: 03/27/2022] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors baricitinib and tofacitinib are recommended by the US National Institutes of Health as immunomodulatory drugs for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) treatment. In addition, baricitinib has recently received Emergency Use Authorization from the US Food and Drug Administration, although the instruction provided dosing information only for adults. Geriatrics with organ dysfunction are one of the most vulnerable cohorts when combating the pandemic. The aim of the present work was to evaluate current dosing strategies of baricitinib and tofacitinib for potential COVID-19 treatment for White and Chinese geriatric patients with chronic renal impairment. An established physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling framework for age-dependent simulations was utilized. PBPK drug models adopted from literature were first verified. Several population models representing different age groups, ethnicities, and stages of renal impairment were used for prospective simulations. Notwithstanding the increase in systemic exposure of both drugs resulting from renal dysfunction was more pronounced for geriatrics than general White populations, our simulations confirmed their current dosage adjustments based on renal functions are broadly adequate. The exception being White older subjects with mild renal impairment where current recommendation of 4 mg baricitinib yielded a 2.31-fold increase in systemic exposure, and reduction to 2 mg could mitigate the potential risk to an acceptable 1.15-fold. Comparable relationships between systemic exposure and renal dysfunction were observed for both drugs in the Chinese population. In summary, PBPK modeling of both JAK inhibitors supports the rational and prudent dose adjustments of these COVID-19 therapeutics among adult patients of different age groups and renal functions.

Abstract
Aims This study aims to develop and verify a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) population model for the Chinese geriatric population in Simcyp. Methods Firstly, physiological information for the Chinese geriatric population was collected and later employed to develop the Chinese geriatric population model by recalibration of corresponding physiological parameters in the Chinese adult population model available in Simcyp (i.e., Chinese healthy volunteer model). Secondly, drug‐dependent parameters were collected for six drugs with different elimination pathways (i.e., metabolized by CYP1A2, CYP3A4 or renal excretion). The drug models were then developed and verified by clinical data from Chinese adults, Caucasian adults and Caucasian elderly subjects to ensure that drug‐dependent parameters are correctly inputted. Finally, the tested drug models in combination with the newly developed Chinese geriatric population model were applied to simulate drug concentration in Chinese elderly subjects. The predicted results were then compared with the observations to evaluate model prediction performance. Results Ninety‐eight per cent of predicted AUC, 95% of predicted Cmax, and 100% of predicted CL values were within two‐fold of the observed values, indicating all drug models were properly developed. The drug models, combined with the newly developed population model, were then used to predict pharmacokinetics in Chinese elderly subjects aged 60–93. The predicted AUC, Cmax, and CL values were all within two‐fold of the observed values. Conclusion The population model for the Chinese elderly subjects appears to adequately predict the concentration of the drug that was metabolized by CYP1A2, CYP3A4 or eliminated by renal clearance.

Development of a Virtual Chinese Pediatric Population Physiological Model Targeting Specific Metabolism and Kidney Elimination Pathways. Front Pharmacol 2021; 12:648697. [PMID: 34045960 PMCID: PMC8145459 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2021.648697] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2021] [Accepted: 03/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling and simulating may be a powerful tool in predicting drug behaviors in specific populations. It is a mathematical model that relates the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of a compound with human anatomical characteristics, physiological characteristics, and biochemical parameters. Predictions using PBPK models offer a promising way to guide drug development and can be used to optimize clinical dosing regimens. However, PK data of new drugs in the pediatric population are too limited to guide clinical therapy, which may lead to frequent adverse events or insufficient efficacy for pediatric patients, particularly in neonates and infants. Objective: The objective of this study was to establish a virtual Chinese pediatric population based on the physiological parameters of Chinese children that could be utilized in PBPK models. Methods: A Chinese pediatric PBPK model was developed in Simcyp Simulator by collecting published Chinese pediatric physiological and anthropometric data to use as system parameters. This pediatric population model was then evaluated in the Chinese pediatric population by predicting the pharmacokinetic characteristics of four probe drugs: theophylline (major CYP1A2 substrate), fentanyl (major CYP3A4 substrate), vancomycin, and ceftazidime (renal-eliminated). Results: The predicted maximum concentration (Cmax), area under the curve of concentration-time (AUC), and clearance (CL) for theophylline (CYP1A2 metabolism pathway) and fentanyl (CYP3A4 metabolism pathway) were within two folds of the observed data. For drugs mainly eliminated by renal clearance (vancomycin and ceftazidime) in the Chinese pediatric population, the ratio of prediction to observation for major PK parameters was within a 2-fold error range. Conclusion: The model is a supplement to the previous Chinese population PBPK model. We anticipate the model to be a better representative of the pediatric Chinese population for drugs PK, offering greater clinical precision for medication given to the pediatric population, ultimately advancing clinical development of pediatric drugs. We can refine this model further by collecting more physiological parameters of Chinese children.

Abstract
The advancement in the processing speeds of computing machines has facilitated the development of complex physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models. These PBPK models can incorporate disease-specific data and could be used to predict pharmacokinetics (PK) of administered drugs in different chronic conditions. The present study aimed to develop and evaluate PBPK drug-disease models for captopril after incorporating relevant pathophysiological changes occurring in adult chronic kidney disease (CKD) and chronic heart failure (CHF) populations. The population-based PBPK simulator Simcyp was used as a modeling and simulation platform. The visual predictive checks and mean observed/predicted ratios (ratio(Obs/pred)) of the PK parameters were used for model evaluation. The developed disease models were successful in predicting captopril PK in all three stages of CKD (mild, moderate, and severe) and CHF, as the observed and predicted PK profiles and the ratio(obs/pred) for the PK parameters were in close agreement. The developed captopril PBPK models can assist in tailoring captopril dosages in patients with different disease severity (CKD and CHF).

Abstract
AIM The study was aimed to understand the underlying causes for the differences in propranolol pharmacokinetics (PK) between healthy and cirrhosis populations by using a systematic whole-body physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model-building approach for suggesting model informed propranolol dosing in liver cirrhosis patients with different stages of disease severity. METHODS A whole-body PBPK model was developed by using population simulator PK-Sim® by using reported physicochemical and clinical data for propranolol in healthy and liver cirrhosis populations. The model evaluation was done by visual verification and comparison of PK parameters using their observed/predicted ratios (Robs/pred). RESULTS The developed model has effectively described the disposition of propranolol after intravenous and oral application in healthy and liver cirrhosis populations. All the model predictions were comparable to the observed clinical data and the Robs/pred for all the PK parameters were within a 2-fold range. A significant increase in plasma concentration of propranolol and decrease in drug clearance was observed in progressive stages of liver cirrhosis. The developed model after evaluation with the reported clinical PK data was used for suggesting model informed propranolol dosing in different stages of liver cirrhosis based on systemic unbound drug concentration. CONCLUSION The developed PBPK model has successfully described propranolol PK in healthy and cirrhosis populations after IV and oral administration. The evaluated PBPK propranolol-cirrhosis model can have many implications in predicting propranolol dosing in liver cirrhosis patients with different stages of disease severity.

Physiologically based pharmacokinetic model of renally cleared antibacterial drugs in Chinese renal impairment patients. Biopharm Drug Dispos 2021; 42:24-34. [PMID: 33340419 PMCID: PMC7898311 DOI: 10.1002/bdd.2258] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2020] [Revised: 11/13/2020] [Accepted: 12/01/2020] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
To preliminarily develop physiologically based population models for Chinese renal impairment patients and to evaluate the prediction performance of new population models by renally cleared antibacterial drugs. First, demographic data and physiological parameters of Chinese renal impairment patients were collected, and then the coefficients of the relative demographic and physiological equation were recalibrated to construct the new population models. Second, drug‐independent parameters of ceftazidime, cefodizime, vancomycin, and cefuroxime were collected and verified by Chinese healthy volunteers, Caucasian healthy volunteers, and Caucasian renal impairment population models built in Simcyp. Finally, the newly developed population models were applied to predict the plasma concentration of four antibacterial drugs in Chinese renal impairment patients. The new physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) population models can predict the main pharmacokinetic parameters, including area under the plasma concentration–time curve extrapolated to infinity (AUCinf), renal clearance (CLr), and peak concentration (Cmax), of ceftazidime, cefodizime, vancomycin, and cefuroxime following intravenous administrations with less than twofold error in mild, moderate, and severe Chinese renal impairment patients. The accuracy and precision of the predictions were improved compared with the Chinese healthy volunteers and Caucasian renal impairment population models. The PBPK population models were preliminarily developed and the first‐step validation results of four antibacterial drugs following intravenous administration showed acceptable accuracy and precision. The population models still need more systematic validation by using more drugs and scenarios in future studies to support their applications on dosage recommendation for Chinese renal impairment patients.
