Therapy DesignCase Study: Cyclosporin A Therapeutic Window Effect of drug administration method for same dosage (6 mg/kg).
Deficiencies with Classical Pharmacokinetics • Data fitting and black-box models. • Results are hard to scale. • No mass conservation. • Equations sometimes based on unobservable phenomena such as specific binding. • Derive very little information in terms of drug kinetics and biotransport phenomena. Rigorous engineering approach needed for the development of Physiologically-Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models to address these deficiencies. Black-box
Specific Aims • Develop an automated methodology for the rigorous assessment of a multivariate Physiologically-Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model of an organism such as a rat based on first principles. • Apply the developed methodology towards improved scaling which can account for pathological conditions and differences in individual body composition.
Methodology for Discovering Transport & Kinetic Parameters Observe Physical Phenomena • Obtain experimental data. • Construct closed vasculature flow network. Create a PBPK Model Discover Kinetics • Compute steady state blood • flow rates and pressures. • Select organ-specific PBPK • model and generate equations. • Estimate parameters via • kinetic inversion. • Optimize transport and • kinetic parameters. • Evaluate quality of each • PBPK model.
Step 1: Bioaccumulation of Cyclosporine A in Different Organs • Male Sprague Dawley Rats • 277 +/- 15 g • 2 minute bolus injection into femoral vein • 12 organs & blood measured • 3 dose groups: • 1.2, 6, 30 mg/kg 1. Tanaka, et al. Drug Metabolism and Disposition, 2000.

Step 5: Parameter Estimation via Kinetic Inversion Objective function for space xj time tj Conservation balances: Optimization of k-values Satisfactory Unsatisfactory Global Solution 2. W. Tang, et al. Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Research, 2005. 3. M. Somayaji, et al. Computers and Chemical Engineering, 2008.
Step 6: Solution of the Kinetic Inversion Problem • Kinetic rates (hr-1) - 9 of 30 • kmuscle = 47.18 • kskin = 54.03 • kspleen = 35.22 • kfat = 96.11 • kgut = 31.20 • kheart = 27.58 • kliver = 118.04 • kkidney = 70.09 • kbrain = 7.03

Knowledge Gain • First principles kinetics allows model to be scalable. • Determines the global transport mechanisms of drugs based on biochemical, anatomical, and physiological data. • Information is able to be derived from experimental data. • No longer reliant on pure data fitting. • Conservation of mass ensures model fidelity. • Accurate prediction of dose curves. • Variety of therapy designs including administration mode (oral, intravenous; bolus, continuous), dosage interval, concentration and total drug amount.
Individual Weight Age Future Plans • Develop biochemical, anatomical and physiological (BAP) scaling laws. • Create a library of models for animals commonly used in typical drug trials.
