Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Modeling of Drug Transporters to Facilitate Individualized Dose Prediction

J Pharm Sci. 2017 Sep;106(9):2204-2208. doi: 10.1016/j.xphs.2017.03.036. Epub 2017 Apr 5.

Abstract

Physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling is a commonly used strategy in the drug development and regulatory submissions. This commentary provides a critical overview of the current status of physiologically based pharmacokinetic methodologies to predict transporter-mediated pharmacokinetics, in addition to the impact of disease and genetics with respect to local and systemic concentration.

Keywords: pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic models; transporters.
