Abstract
Pharmacokinetic (PK) modeling is a useful method for investigating drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. The most commonly used mathematical models in PK modeling are the compartment model and physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model. Although the theoretical characteristics of each model are well known, there have been few comparative studies of the compatibility of the models. Therefore, we evaluated the compatibility of PBPK and compartment models using the lumping method with 20 model compounds. The PBPK model was theoretically reduced to the lumped model using the principle of grouping tissues and organs that show similar kinetic behaviors. The area under the concentration–time curve (AUC) based on the simulated concentration and PK parameters (drug clearance [CL], central volume of distribution [Vc], peripheral volume of distribution [Vp]) in each model were compared, assuming administration to humans. The AUC and PK parameters in the PBPK model were similar to those in the lumped model within the 2-fold range for 17 of 20 model compounds (85%). In addition, the relationship of the calculated Vd/fu (volume of distribution [Vd], drug-unbound fraction [fu]) and the accuracy of AUC between the lumped model and compartment model confirmed their compatibility. Accordingly, the compatibility between PBPK and compartment models was confirmed by the lumping method. This method can be applied depending on the requirement of compatibility between the two models.
