Albumin-Mediated Drug Uptake by Organic Anion Transporter 1/3 Is Real: Implications for the Prediction of Active Renal Secretion Clearance.

Modulation of the transport-mediated active uptake by human serum albumin (HSA) for highly protein-bound substrates has been reported and improved the -to- extrapolation (IVIVE) of hepatic clearance. However, evidence for the relevance of such a phenomenon in the case of renal transporters is sparse. In this study, transport of renal organic anion transporter 1 or 3 (OAT1/3) substrates into conditionally immortalized proximal tubular epithelial cells transduced with OAT1/3 was measured in the presence and absence of 1 and 4% HSA while keeping the unbound substrate concentration constant (based on measured fraction unbound, ).

Physiological-based pharmacokinetic modeling trends in pharmaceutical drug development over the last 20-years; in-depth analysis of applications, organizations, and platforms.

We assess the advancement of physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling and simulation (M&S) over the last 20 years (start of 2000 to end of 2019) focusing on the trends in each decade with the relative contributions from different organizations, areas of applications, and software tools used. Unlike many of the previous publications which focused on regulatory applications, our analysis is based on PBPK publications in peer-reviewed journals based on a large sample (>700 original articles). We estimated a rate of growth for PBPK (>40 fold/20 years) that was much steeper than the general pharmacokinetic modeling (<3 fold/20 years) or overall scientific publications (∼3 fold/20 years).

Development of a whole body physiologically based model to characterise the pharmacokinetics of benzodiazepines. 1: Estimation of rat tissue-plasma partition ratios.

Three methods for estimation of the equilibrium tissue-to-plasma partition ratios (Kp values) in the presence of tissue concentration time data have been investigated. These are the area method, the open loop (tissue specific) method and the whole body model(closed loop) method, each with different model assumptions. Additionally, multiple imputations, a technique for dealing with deficiencies in data sets (i.
