Abstract
Dasatinib, a second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is approved for treating chronic myeloid and acute lymphoblastic leukemia. As a sensitive cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 substrate and weak base with strong pH-sensitive solubility, dasatinib is susceptible to enzyme-mediated drug-drug interactions (DDIs) with CYP3A4 perpetrators and pH-dependent DDIs with acid-reducing agents. This work aimed to develop a whole-body physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model of dasatinib to describe and predict enzyme-mediated and pH-dependent DDIs, to evaluate the impact of strong and moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors and inducers on dasatinib exposure and to support optimized dasatinib dosing. Overall, 63 plasma profiles from perorally administered dasatinib in healthy volunteers and cancer patients were used for model development. The model accurately described and predicted plasma profiles with geometric mean fold errors (GMFEs) for area under the concentration-time curve from the first to the last timepoint of measurement (AUClast) and maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of 1.27 and 1.29, respectively. Regarding the DDI studies used for model development, all (8/8) predicted AUClast and Cmax ratios were within twofold of observed ratios. Application of the PBPK model for dose adaptations within various DDIs revealed dasatinib dose reductions of 50%-80% for strong and 0%-70% for moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors and a 2.3-3.1-fold increase of the daily dasatinib dose for CYP3A4 inducers to match the exposure of dasatinib administered alone. The developed model can be further employed to personalize dasatinib therapy, thereby help coping with clinical challenges resulting from DDIs and patient-related factors, such as elevated gastric pH.

Abstract
The discovery of circadian clock genes greatly amplified the study of diurnal variations impacting cancer therapy, transforming it into a rapidly growing field of research. Especially, use of chronomodulated treatment with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) has gained significance. Studies indicate high interindividual variability (IIV) in diurnal variations in dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) activity - a key enzyme for 5-FU metabolism. However, the influence of individual DPD chronotypes on chronomodulated therapy remains unclear and warrants further investigation. To optimize precision dosing of chronomodulated 5-FU, this study aims to: (i) build physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models for 5-FU, uracil, and their metabolites, (ii) assess the impact of diurnal variation on DPD activity, (iii) estimate individual DPD chronotypes, and (iv) personalize chronomodulated 5-FU infusion rates based on a patient's DPD chronotype. Whole-body PBPK models were developed with PK-Sim(R) and MoBi(R) . Sinusoidal functions were used to incorporate variations in enzyme activity and chronomodulated infusion rates as well as to estimate individual DPD chronotypes from DPYD mRNA expression or DPD enzymatic activity. Four whole-body PBPK models for 5-FU, uracil, and their metabolites were established utilizing data from 41 5-FU and 10 publicly available uracil studies. IIV in DPD chronotypes was assessed and personalized chronomodulated administrations were developed to achieve (i) comparable 5-FU peak plasma concentrations, (ii) comparable 5-FU exposure, and (iii) constant 5-FU plasma levels via "noise cancellation" chronomodulated infusion. The developed PBPK models capture the extent of diurnal variations in DPD activity and can help investigate individualized chronomodulated 5-FU therapy through testing alternative personalized dosing strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD) is a major cause of death for patients following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Effective management of moderate to severe aGvHD remains challenging despite recent advances in HSCT, emphasizing the importance of prophylaxis and risk factor identification. METHODS In this study, we analyzed data from 1479 adults who underwent HSCT between 2005 and 2017 to investigate the effects of aGvHD prophylaxis and time-dependent risk factors on the development of grades II-IV aGvHD within 100 days post-HSCT. RESULTS Using a dynamic longitudinal time-to-event model, we observed a non-monotonic baseline hazard overtime with a low hazard during the first few days and a maximum hazard at day 17, described by Bateman function with a mean transit time of approximately 11 days. Multivariable analysis revealed significant time-dependent effects of white blood cell counts and cyclosporine A exposure as well as static effects of female donors for male recipients, patients with matched related donors, conditioning regimen consisting of fludarabine plus total body irradiation, and patient age in recipients of grafts from related donors on the risk to develop grades II-IV aGvHD. Additionally, we found that higher cumulative hazard on day 7 after allo-HSCT are associated with an increased incidence of grades II-IV aGvHD within 100 days indicating that an individual assessment of the cumulative hazard on day 7 could potentially serve as valuable predictor for later grades II-IV aGvHD development. Using the final model, stochastic simulations were performed to explore covariate effects on the cumulative incidence over time and to estimate risk ratios. CONCLUSION Overall, the presented model showed good descriptive and predictive performance and provides valuable insights into the interplay of multiple static and time-dependent risk factors for the prediction of aGvHD.

Abstract
Given the crucial role of vaccination in halting the COVID-19 pandemic, it is imperative to understand the factors that motivate adolescents to get vaccinated. We surveyed adolescents and their accompanying guardians scheduled to receive a COVID-19 vaccination (Comirnaty) in an urban region in Germany in mid-2021 regarding their motivation for getting vaccinated and collected data on their sociodemographic characteristics, medical history, vaccination status, and any history of COVID-19 infection in the family. We also queried information strategies related to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Motivations for getting vaccinated were similar among adolescents and their parents. The primary reasons for vaccination were protection against SARS-CoV-2-related illness and gaining access to leisure facilities. This was not influenced by gender, health status, migration background, or the presence of chronic or acute diseases. The percentage of parents who had received SARS-CoV-2 immunization and the proportion of parents with a high level of education were higher among study participants than in the general population. Adolescents were especially willing to be vaccinated if they came from a better educational environment and had a high vaccination rate in the family. Emphasizing the importance of vaccination among all segments of the population and removing barriers to vaccines may lead to an ameliorated acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines.

Abstract
The antiarrhythmic agent quinidine is a potent inhibitor of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and is therefore recommended for use in clinical drug-drug interaction (DDI) studies. However, as quinidine is also a substrate of CYP3A4 and P-gp, it is susceptible to DDIs involving these proteins. Physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling can help to mechanistically assess the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion processes of a drug and has proven its usefulness in predicting even complex interaction scenarios. The objectives of the presented work were to develop a PBPK model of quinidine and to integrate the model into a comprehensive drug-drug(-gene) interaction (DD(G)I) network with a diverse set of CYP3A4 and P-gp perpetrators as well as CYP2D6 and P-gp victims. The quinidine parent-metabolite model including 3-hydroxyquinidine was developed using pharmacokinetic profiles from clinical studies after intravenous and oral administration covering a broad dosing range (0.1-600 mg). The model covers efflux transport via P-gp and metabolic transformation to either 3-hydroxyquinidine or unspecified metabolites via CYP3A4. The 3-hydroxyquinidine model includes further metabolism by CYP3A4 as well as an unspecific hepatic clearance. Model performance was assessed graphically and quantitatively with greater than 90% of predicted pharmacokinetic parameters within two-fold of corresponding observed values. The model was successfully used to simulate various DD(G)I scenarios with greater than 90% of predicted DD(G)I pharmacokinetic parameter ratios within two-fold prediction success limits. The presented network will be provided to the research community and can be extended to include further perpetrators, victims, and targets, to support investigations of DD(G)Is.

Abstract
Grapefruit is a moderate to strong inactivator of CYP3A4, which metabolizes up to 50% of marketed drugs. The inhibitory effect is mainly attributed to furanocoumarins present in the fruit, irreversibly inhibiting preferably intestinal CYP3A4 as suicide inhibitors. Effects on CYP3A4 victim drugs can still be measured up to 24 hours after grapefruit juice (GFJ) consumption. The current study aimed to establish a physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) grapefruit-drug interaction model by modeling the relevant CYP3A4 inhibiting ingredients of the fruit to simulate and predict the effect of GFJ consumption on plasma concentration-time profiles of various CYP3A4 victim drugs. The grapefruit model was developed in PK-Sim and coupled with previously developed PBPK models of CYP3A4 substrates that were publicly available and already evaluated for CYP3A4-mediated drug-drug interactions. Overall, 43 clinical studies were used for model development. Models of bergamottin (BGT) and 6,7-dihydroxybergamottin (DHB) as relevant active ingredients in GFJ were established. Both models include: (i) CYP3A4 inactivation informed by in vitro parameters, (ii) a CYP3A4 mediated clearance estimated during model development, as well as (iii) passive glomerular filtration. The final model successfully describes interactions of GFJ ingredients with 10 different CYP3A4 victim drugs, simulating the effect of the CYP3A4 inactivation on the victims' pharmacokinetics as well as their main metabolites. Furthermore, the model sufficiently captures the time-dependent effect of CYP3A4 inactivation as well as the effect of grapefruit ingestion on intestinal and hepatic CYP3A4 concentrations.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS The objective was to investigate if metformin pharmacokinetics is modulated by time-of-day in humans using empirical and mechanistic pharmacokinetic modelling techniques on a large clinical dataset. This study also aimed to generate and test hypotheses on the underlying mechanisms, including evidence for chronotype-dependent interindividual differences in metformin plasma and efficacy-related tissue concentrations. METHODS A large clinical dataset consisting of individual metformin plasma and urine measurements was analysed using a newly developed empirical pharmacokinetic model. Causes of daily variation of metformin pharmacokinetics and interindividual variability were further investigated by a literature-informed mechanistic modelling analysis. RESULTS A significant effect of time-of-day on metformin pharmacokinetics was found. Daily rhythms of gastrointestinal, hepatic and renal processes are described in the literature, possibly affecting drug pharmacokinetics. Observed metformin plasma levels were best described by a combination of a rhythm in GFR, renal plasma flow (RPF) and organic cation transporter (OCT) 2 activity. Furthermore, the large interindividual differences in measured metformin concentrations were best explained by individual chronotypes affecting metformin clearance, with impact on plasma and tissue concentrations that may have implications for metformin efficacy. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Metformin's pharmacology significantly depends on time-of-day in humans, determined with the help of empirical and mechanistic pharmacokinetic modelling, and rhythmic GFR, RPF and OCT2 were found to govern intraday variation. Interindividual variation was found to be partly dependent on individual chronotype, suggesting diurnal preference as an interesting, but so-far underappreciated, topic with regard to future personalised chronomodulated therapy in people with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
The immunosuppressant and narrow therapeutic index drug tacrolimus is metabolized mainly via cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 and CYP3A5. For its pharmacokinetics (PK), high inter- and intra-individual variability can be observed. Underlying causes include the effect of food intake on tacrolimus absorption as well as genetic polymorphism in the CYP3A5 gene. Furthermore, tacrolimus is highly susceptible to drug-drug interactions, acting as a victim drug when coadministered with CYP3A perpetrators. This work describes the development of a whole-body physiologically based pharmacokinetic model for tacrolimus as well as its application for investigation and prediction of (i) the impact of food intake on tacrolimus PK (food-drug interactions [FDIs]) and (ii) drug-drug(-gene) interactions (DD[G]Is) involving the CYP3A perpetrator drugs voriconazole, itraconazole, and rifampicin. The model was built in PK-Sim® Version 10 using a total of 37 whole blood concentration-time profiles of tacrolimus (training and test) compiled from 911 healthy individuals covering the administration of tacrolimus as intravenous infusions as well as immediate-release and extended-release capsules. Metabolism was incorporated via CYP3A4 and CYP3A5, with varying activities implemented for different CYP3A5 genotypes and study populations. The good predictive model performance is demonstrated for the examined food effect studies with 6/6 predicted FDI area under the curve determined between first and last concentration measurements (AUClast ) and 6/6 predicted FDI maximum whole blood concentration (Cmax ) ratios within twofold of the respective observed ratios. In addition, 7/7 predicted DD(G)I AUClast and 6/7 predicted DD(G)I Cmax ratios were within twofold of their observed values. Potential applications of the final model include model-informed drug discovery and development or the support of model-informed precision dosing.

Abstract
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic challenged many national health care systems, with hospitals reaching capacity limits of intensive care units (ICU). Thus, the estimation of acute local burden of ICUs is critical for appropriate management of health care resources. In this work, we applied non-linear mixed effects modeling to develop an epidemiological SARS-CoV-2 infection model for Germany, with its 16 federal states and 400 districts, that describes infections as well as COVID-19 inpatients, ICU patients with and without mechanical ventilation, recoveries, and fatalities during the first two waves of the pandemic until April 2021. Based on model analyses, covariates influencing the relation between infections and outcomes were explored. Non-pharmaceutical interventions imposed by governments were found to have a major impact on the spreading of SARS-CoV-2. Patient age and sex, the spread of variant B.1.1.7, and the testing strategy (number of tests performed weekly, rate of positive tests) affected the severity and outcome of recorded cases and could reduce the observed unexplained variability between the states. Modeling could reasonably link the discrepancies between fine-grained model simulations of the 400 German districts and the reported number of available ICU beds to coarse-grained COVID-19 patient distribution patterns within German regions.

Abstract
In Germany, the incidence of cervical cancer, a disease caused by human papillomaviruses (HPV), is higher than in neighboring European countries. HPV vaccination has been recommended for girls since 2007. However, it continues to be significantly less well received than other childhood vaccines, so its potential for cancer prevention is not fully realized. To find new starting points for improving vaccination rates, we analyzed pseudonymized routine billing data from statutory health insurers in the PRÄZIS study (prevention of cervical carcinoma and its precursors in women in Saarland) in the federal state Saarland serving as a model region. We show that lowering the HPV vaccination age to 9 years led to more completed HPV vaccinations already in 2015. Since then, HPV vaccination rates and the proportion of 9- to 11-year-old girls among HPV-vaccinated females have steadily increased. However, HPV vaccination rates among 15-year-old girls in Saarland remained well below 50% in 2019. Pediatricians vaccinated the most girls overall, with a particularly high proportion at the recommended vaccination age of 9–14 years, while gynecologists provided more HPV catch-up vaccinations among 15-17-year-old girls, and general practitioners compensated for HPV vaccination in Saarland communities with fewer pediatricians or gynecologists. We also provide evidence for a significant association between attendance at the children´s medical check-ups “U11” or “J1” and HPV vaccination. In particular, participation in HPV vaccination is high on the day of U11. However, obstacles are that U11 is currently not financed by all statutory health insurers and there is a lack of invitation procedures for both U11 and J1, resulting in significantly lower participation rates than for the earlier U8 or U9 screenings, which are conducted exclusively with invitations and reminders. Based on our data, we propose to restructure U11 and J1 screening in Germany, with mandatory funding for U11 and organized invitations for HPV vaccination at U11 or J1 for both boys and girls.

Abstract
Endogenous biomarkers for transporter-mediated drug-drug interaction (DDI) predictions represent a promising approach to facilitate and improve conventional DDI investigations in clinical studies. This approach requires high sensitivity and specificity of biomarkers for the targets of interest (e.g., transport proteins), as well as rigorous characterization of their kinetics, which can be accomplished utilizing physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling. Therefore, the objective of this study was to develop PBPK models of the endogenous organic cation transporter (OCT)2 and multidrug and toxin extrusion protein (MATE)1 substrates creatinine and N1 -methylnicotinamide (NMN). Additionally, this study aimed to predict kinetic changes of the biomarkers during administration of the OCT2 and MATE1 perpetrator drugs trimethoprim, pyrimethamine, and cimetidine. Whole-body PBPK models of creatinine and NMN were developed utilizing studies investigating creatinine or NMN exogenous administration and endogenous synthesis. The newly developed models accurately describe and predict observed plasma concentration-time profiles and urinary excretion of both biomarkers. Subsequently, models were coupled to the previously built and evaluated perpetrator models of trimethoprim, pyrimethamine, and cimetidine for interaction predictions. Increased creatinine plasma concentrations and decreased urinary excretion during the drug-biomarker interactions with trimethoprim, pyrimethamine, and cimetidine were well-described. An additional inhibition of NMN synthesis by trimethoprim and pyrimethamine was hypothesized, improving NMN plasma and urine interaction predictions. To summarize, whole-body PBPK models of creatinine and NMN were built and evaluated to better assess creatinine and NMN kinetics while uncovering knowledge gaps for future research. The models can support investigations of renal transporter-mediated DDIs during drug development.

Abstract
This study provides a whole‐body physiologically‐based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model of dextromethorphan and its metabolites dextrorphan and dextrorphan O‐glucuronide for predicting the effects of cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) drug‐gene interactions (DGIs) on dextromethorphan pharmacokinetics (PK). Moreover, the effect of interindividual variability (IIV) within CYP2D6 activity score groups on the PK of dextromethorphan and its metabolites was investigated. A parent‐metabolite‐metabolite PBPK model of dextromethorphan, dextrorphan, and dextrorphan O‐glucuronide was developed in PK‐Sim and MoBi. Drug‐dependent parameters were obtained from the literature or optimized. Plasma concentration‐time profiles of all three analytes were gathered from published studies and used for model development and model evaluation. The model was evaluated comparing simulated plasma concentration‐time profiles, area under the concentration‐time curve from the time of the first measurement to the time of the last measurement (AUClast) and maximum concentration (Cmax) values to observed study data. The final PBPK model accurately describes 28 population plasma concentration‐time profiles and plasma concentration‐time profiles of 72 individuals from four cocktail studies. Moreover, the model predicts CYP2D6 DGI scenarios with six of seven DGI AUClast and seven of seven DGI Cmax ratios within the acceptance criteria. The high IIV in plasma concentrations was analyzed by characterizing the distribution of individually optimized CYP2D6 kcat values stratified by activity score group. Population simulations with sampling from the resulting distributions with calculated log‐normal dispersion and mean parameters could explain a large extent of the observed IIV. The model is publicly available alongside comprehensive documentation of model building and model evaluation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are among the leading causes of death, and frequently associated with drug-gene interactions (DGIs). In addition to pharmacogenomic programs for implementation of genetic preemptive testing into clinical practice, mathematical modeling can help to understand, quantify and predict the effects of DGIs in vivo. Moreover, modeling can contribute to optimize prospective clinical drug trial activities and to reduce DGI-related ADRs. AREAS COVERED Approaches and challenges of mechanistical DGI implementation and model parameterization are discussed for population pharmacokinetic and physiologically based pharmacokinetic models. The broad spectrum of published DGI models and their applications is presented, focusing on the investigation of DGI effects on pharmacology and model-based dose adaptations. EXPERT OPINION Mathematical modeling provides an opportunity to investigate complex DGI scenarios and can facilitate the development process of safe and efficient personalized dosing regimens. However, reliable DGI model input data from in vivo and in vitro measurements are crucial. For this, collaboration among pharmacometricians, laboratory scientists and clinicians is important to provide homogeneous datasets and unambiguous model parameters. For a broad adaptation of validated DGI models in clinical practice, interdisciplinary cooperation should be promoted and qualification toolchains must be established.

Abstract
Background Metformin is a widely prescribed antidiabetic BCS Class III drug (low permeability) that depends on active transport for its absorption and disposition. It is recommended by the US Food and Drug Administration as a clinical substrate of organic cation transporter 2/multidrug and toxin extrusion protein for drug–drug interaction studies. Cimetidine is a potent organic cation transporter 2/multidrug and toxin extrusion protein inhibitor. Objective The objective of this study was to provide mechanistic whole-body physiologically based pharmacokinetic models of metformin and cimetidine, built and evaluated to describe the metformin-SLC22A2 808G>T drug–gene interaction, the cimetidine-metformin drug–drug interaction, and the impact of renal impairment on metformin exposure. Methods Physiologically based pharmacokinetic models were developed in PK-Sim® (version 8.0). Thirty-nine clinical studies (dosing range 0.001–2550 mg), providing metformin plasma and urine data, positron emission tomography measurements of tissue concentrations, studies in organic cation transporter 2 polymorphic volunteers, drug–drug interaction studies with cimetidine, and data from patients in different stages of chronic kidney disease, were used to develop the metformin model. Twenty-seven clinical studies (dosing range 100–800 mg), reporting cimetidine plasma and urine concentrations, were used for the cimetidine model development. Results The established physiologically based pharmacokinetic models adequately describe the available clinical data, including the investigated drug–gene interaction, drug–drug interaction, and drug–drug–gene interaction studies, as well as the metformin exposure during renal impairment. All modeled drug–drug interaction area under the curve and maximum concentration ratios are within 1.5-fold of the observed ratios. The clinical data of renally impaired patients shows the expected increase in metformin exposure with declining kidney function, but also indicates counter-regulatory mechanisms in severe renal disease; these mechanisms were implemented into the model based on findings in preclinical species. Conclusions Whole-body physiologically based pharmacokinetic models of metformin and cimetidine were built and qualified for the prediction of metformin pharmacokinetics during drug–gene interaction, drug–drug interaction, and different stages of renal disease. The model files will be freely available in the Open Systems Pharmacology model repository. Current guidelines for metformin treatment of renally impaired patients should be reviewed to avoid overdosing in CKD3 and to allow metformin therapy of CKD4 patients.

Abstract
Background Nicotine, the pharmacologically active substance in both tobacco and many electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) liquids, is responsible for the addiction that sustains cigarette smoking. With 8 million deaths worldwide annually, smoking remains one of the major causes of disability and premature death. However, nicotine also plays an important role in smoking cessation strategies. Objectives The aim of this study was to develop a comprehensive, whole-body, physiologically based pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PBPK/PD) model of nicotine and its major metabolite cotinine, covering various routes of nicotine administration, and to simulate nicotine brain tissue concentrations after the use of combustible cigarettes, e-cigarettes, nicotine gums, and nicotine patches. Methods A parent–metabolite, PBPK/PD model of nicotine for a non-smoking and a smoking population was developed using 91 plasma and brain tissue concentration–time profiles and 11 heart rate profiles. Among others, cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2A6 and 2B6 enzymes were implemented, including kinetics for CYP2A6 poor metabolizers. Results The model is able to precisely describe and predict both nicotine plasma and brain tissue concentrations, cotinine plasma concentrations, and heart rate profiles. 100% of the predicted area under the concentration–time curve (AUC) and maximum concentration (Cmax) values meet the twofold acceptance criterion with overall geometric mean fold errors of 1.12 and 1.15, respectively. The administration of combustible cigarettes, e-cigarettes, nicotine patches, and nicotine gums was successfully implemented in the model and used to identify differences in steady-state nicotine brain tissue concentration patterns. Conclusions Our PBPK/PD model may be helpful in further investigations of nicotine dependence and smoking cessation strategies. As the model represents the first nicotine PBPK/PD model predicting nicotine concentration and heart rate profiles after the use of e-cigarettes, it could also contribute to a better understanding of the recent increase in youth e-cigarette use.

Abstract
Infliximab is approved for treatment of various chronic inflammatory diseases including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, high variability in infliximab trough levels has been associated with diverse response rates. Model-informed precision dosing (MIPD) with population pharmacokinetic models could help to individualize infliximab dosing regimens and improve therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive performance of published infliximab population pharmacokinetic models for IBD patients with an external data set. The data set consisted of 105 IBD patients with 336 infliximab concentrations. Literature review identified 12 published models eligible for external evaluation. Model performance was evaluated with goodness-of-fit plots, prediction- and variability-corrected visual predictive checks (pvcVPCs) and quantitative measures. For anti-drug antibody (ADA)-negative patients, model accuracy decreased for predictions > 6 months, while bias did not increase. In general, predictions for patients developing ADA were less accurate for all models investigated. Two models with the highest classification accuracy identified necessary dose escalations (for trough concentrations < 5 µg/mL) in 88% of cases. In summary, population pharmacokinetic modeling can be used to individualize infliximab dosing and thereby help to prevent infliximab trough concentrations dropping below the target trough concentration. However, predictions of infliximab concentrations for patients developing ADA remain challenging.

Quantitative experimental data on the correlation between physicochemical characteristics and the interaction and transport of engineered nanomaterials across biological barriers, in particular, is still scarce, thus hampering the development of effective predictive non-testing strategies. Against this background, the presented study investigated the translocation of gold and silver nanoparticles across the gastrointestinal barrier along with related biological effects using an in vitro 3D-triple co-culture cell model. Standardized in vitro assays and quantitative polymerase chain reaction showed no significant influence of the applied nanoparticles on both cell viability and generation of reactive oxygen species. Transmission electron microscopy indicated an intact cell barrier during the translocation study. Single particle ICP-MS revealed a time-dependent increase of translocated nanoparticles independent of their size, shape, surface charge, and stability in cell culture medium. This quantitative data provided the experimental basis for the successful mathematical description of the nanoparticle transport kinetics using a non-linear mixed effects modeling approach. The results of this study may serve as a basis for the development of predictive tools for improved risk assessment of engineered nanomaterials in the future.

Abstract
The noradrenaline and dopamine reuptake inhibitor bupropion is metabolized by CYP2B6 and recommended by the FDA as the only sensitive substrate for clinical CYP2B6 drug-drug interaction (DDI) studies. The aim of this study was to build a whole-body physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model of bupropion including its DDI-relevant metabolites, and to qualify the model using clinical drug-gene interaction (DGI) and DDI data. The model was built in PK-Sim® applying clinical data of 67 studies. It incorporates CYP2B6-mediated hydroxylation of bupropion, metabolism via CYP2C19 and 11β-HSD, as well as binding to pharmacological targets. The impact of CYP2B6 polymorphisms is described for normal, poor, intermediate, and rapid metabolizers, with various allele combinations of the genetic variants CYP2B6*1, *4, *5 and *6. DDI model performance was evaluated by prediction of clinical studies with rifampicin (CYP2B6 and CYP2C19 inducer), fluvoxamine (CYP2C19 inhibitor) and voriconazole (CYP2B6 and CYP2C19 inhibitor). Model performance quantification showed 20/20 DGI ratios of hydroxybupropion to bupropion AUC ratios (DGI AUCHBup/Bup ratios), 12/13 DDI AUCHBup/Bup ratios, and 7/7 DDGI AUCHBup/Bup ratios within 2-fold of observed values. The developed model is freely available in the Open Systems Pharmacology model repository.

Abstract
The anticonvulsant carbamazepine is frequently used in the long-term therapy of epilepsy and is a known substrate and inducer of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 and CYP2B6. Carbamazepine induces the metabolism of various drugs (including its own); on the other hand, its metabolism can be affected by various CYP inhibitors and inducers. The aim of this work was to develop a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) parent-metabolite model of carbamazepine and its metabolite carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide, including carbamazepine autoinduction, to be applied for drug-drug interaction (DDI) prediction. The model was developed in PK-Sim, using a total of 92 plasma concentration-time profiles (dosing range 50-800 mg), as well as fractions excreted unchanged in urine measurements. The carbamazepine model applies metabolism by CYP3A4 and CYP2C8 to produce carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide, metabolism by CYP2B6 and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 2B7 and glomerular filtration. The carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide model applies metabolism by epoxide hydroxylase 1 (EPHX1) and glomerular filtration. Good DDI performance was demonstrated by the prediction of carbamazepine DDIs with alprazolam, bupropion, erythromycin, efavirenz and simvastatin, where 14/15 DDI AUClast ratios and 11/15 DDI Cmax ratios were within the prediction success limits proposed by Guest et al. The thoroughly evaluated model will be freely available in the Open Systems Pharmacology model repository.

Abstract
In quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) and physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling, data digitizing is a valuable tool to extract numerical information from published data presented as graphs. To quantify their relevance, a literature search revealed a remarkable mean increase of 16% per year in publications citing digitizing software together with QSP or PBPK. Accuracy, precision, confounder influence, and variability were investigated using scaled median symmetric accuracy (ζ), thus finding excellent accuracy (mean ζ = 0.99%). Although significant, no relevant confounders were found (mean ζ ± SD circles = 0.69% ± 0.68% vs. triangles = 1.3% ± 0.62%). Analysis of 181 literature peak plasma concentration values revealed a considerable discrepancy between reported and post hoc digitized data with 85% having ζ > 5%. Our findings suggest that data digitizing is precise and important. However, because the greatest pitfall comes from pre-existing errors, we recommend always making published data available as raw values.

Abstract
Pulmonary surfactant (PS) constitutes the first line of host defense in the deep lung. Because of its high content of phospholipids and surfactant specific proteins, the interaction of inhaled nanoparticles (NPs) with the pulmonary surfactant layer is likely to form a corona that is different to the one formed in plasma. Here we present a detailed lipidomic and proteomic analysis of NP corona formation using native porcine surfactant as a model. We analyzed the adsorbed biomolecules in the corona of three NP with different surface properties (PEG-, PLGA-, and Lipid-NP) after incubation with native porcine surfactant. Using label-free shotgun analysis for protein and LC-MS for lipid analysis, we quantitatively determined the corona composition. Our results show a conserved lipid composition in the coronas of all investigated NPs regardless of their surface properties, with only hydrophilic PEG-NPs adsorbing fewer lipids in total. In contrast, the analyzed NP displayed a marked difference in the protein corona, consisting of up to 417 different proteins. Among the proteins showing significant differences between the NP coronas, there was a striking prevalence of molecules with a notoriously high lipid and surface binding, such as, e.g., SP-A, SP-D, DMBT1. Our data indicate that the selective adsorption of proteins mediates the relatively similar lipid pattern in the coronas of different NPs. On the basis of our lipidomic and proteomic analysis, we provide a detailed set of quantitative data on the composition of the surfactant corona formed upon NP inhalation, which is unique and markedly different to the plasma corona.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Mathematical models of dermal transport offer the advantages of being much faster and less expensive than in vitro or in vivo studies. The number of methods used to create such models has been increasing rapidly, probably due to the steady rise in computational power. Although each of the various approaches has its own virtues and limitations, it may be difficult to decide which approach is best suited to address a given problem. AREAS COVERED Here we outline the basic ideas, drawbacks and advantages of compartmental and quantitative structure-activity relationship models, as well as of analytical and numerical approaches for solving the diffusion equation. Examples of special applications of the different approaches are given. EXPERT OPINION Although some models are sophisticated and might be used in future to predict transport through damaged or diseased skin, the comparatively low availability of suitable and accurate experimental data limits extensive usage of these models and their predictive accuracy. Due to the lack of experimental data, the possibility of validating mathematical models is limited.

Abstract
Due to the increased demand for reliable data regarding penetration into and permeation across human skin, assessment of the absorption of xenobiotics has been gaining in importance steadily. In vitro experiments allow for determining these data faster and more easily than in vivo experiments. However, the experiments described in literature and the subsequent evaluation procedures differ considerably. Here we will give an overview on typical finite and infinite dose experiments performed in fundamental research and on the evaluation of the data. We will point out possible difficulties that may arise and give a short overview on attempts at predicting skin absorption in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
This work investigates in vitro finite dose skin absorption of the model compounds flufenamic acid and caffeine experimentally and mathematically. The mass balance in different skin compartments (donor, stratum corneum (SC), deeper skin layers (DSL), lateral skin parts and acceptor) is analyzed as a function of time. For both substances high amounts were found in the lateral skin compartment after 6h of incubation, which emphasizes not to elide these parts in the modeling. Here, three different mathematical models were investigated and tested with the experimental data: a pharmacokinetic model (PK), a detailed microscopic two-dimensional diffusion model (MICRO) and a macroscopic homogenized diffusion model (MACRO). While the PK model was fitted to the experimental data, the MICRO and the MACRO models employed input parameters derived from infinite dose studies to predict the underlying diffusion process. All models could satisfyingly predict or describe the experimental data. The PK model and MACRO model also feature the lateral parts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The medical benefits of trauma centers have been well documented; studies have reported substantial financial losses attributed to trauma care. This study demonstrates the dependence of Level I trauma centers on Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) governmental funds and tax dollars. Furthermore, specific injury groups have greater dependence on these funds. METHODS Records of 553 trauma patients admitted to a public urban Level I trauma center during a 6-month period were reviewed. Patients were grouped according to blunt, penetrating, and thermal injuries. Data for each group included charges, costs, payments, and the source of reimbursement. Profit and loss margins were compared with and without government funds. RESULTS With diminished DSH funds and tax dollars, a net loss over $2.1 million was incurred. The greatest disparity originates from Medicaid, self-pay, and prisoner patient groups. Inclusion of government funds provided a positive return of over $600,000. CONCLUSION The financial stability of urban public Level I trauma centers without additional funding is tenuous because of a high proportion of uninsured and underinsured patients. Government tax dollars and DSH funds are required for their continued solvency.
