Physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling to predict complex drug‐drug interactions: a case study of AZD2327 and its metabolite, the competitive and time‐dependent CYP3A inhibitors
In conclusion, this model simulated DDI with less than two‐fold error, indicating that complex clinical DDI associated with multiple mechanisms, pathways, and inhibitors (parent and metabolite) can be predicted using well developed PBPK model.

PBPK modeling of irbesartan: incorporation of hepatic uptake
ABSTRACT Physiological based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling is now commonly used in drug development to integrate human or animal physiological data in order to predict pharmacokinetic profiles. The aim of this work was to construct and refine a PBPK model of irbesartan taking into account its active uptake via OATP1B1/B3 in order to predict more accurately its pharmacokinetic profile using Simcyp®. The activity and expression of the human hepatocyte transporters OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 were studied. RAFs for OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 transporters were calculated, from intrinsic clearances obtained by concentration dependent uptak...

Plasma vs heart tissue concentration in humans – literature data analysis of drugs distribution
Abstract Little is known about the uptake of drugs into the human heart, although it is of great importance nowadays, when science desires to predict tissue level behavior rather than to measure it. Although the drug concentration in cardiac tissue seems a better predictor for physiological and electrophysiological changes than its level in plasma, knowledge of this value is very limited. Tissue to plasma partition coefficients (Kp) come to rescue since they characterize the distribution of a drug among tissues as being one of the input parameters in physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models. The article reviews ...

Projecting human pharmacokinetics of monoclonal antibodies from nonclinical data: comparative evaluation of prediction approaches in early drug development
This article presents a brief overview of the biology and mechanisms of absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) for mAbs. Additionally, we provide a detailed review of mAb human PK/PD prediction from nonclinical data, including allometry for mAbs with linear or nonlinear PK, species‐invariant time method, physiologically based PK (PBPK) modeling and target‐mediated drug disposition (TMDD) model, bioavailability projection and immunogenicity impact on PK prediction. Finally, from an industry perspective a decision tree of mAb human PK projection is proposed to facilitate drug development. This article ...

Investigation of omeprazole and phenacetin first‐pass metabolism in humans using a microscale bioreactor and pharmacokinetic models
Abstract A new in vitro microfluidic platform (integrated insert dynamic microfluidic platform, IIDMP) allowing the co‐culture of intestinal Caco‐2 TC7 cells and of human primary hepatocytes was used to test the absorption and first‐pass metabolism of two drugs: phenacetin and omeprazole. The metabolism of these drugs by CYP1A2, CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 was evaluated by the calculation of bioavailabilities and of intrinsic clearances using a pharmacokinetic (PK) model. To demonstrate the usefulness of the device and of the PK model, predictions were compared with in vitro and in vivo results from the literature. Based on t...
