모델 기반학적 신약개발에서 약동/약력학 모델링 및 시뮬레이션의 역할

초록

In the recent, pharmacokinetic(PK)/pharmacodynamic(PD) modeling has appeared as a critical path tools in new drug development to optimize drug efficacy and safety. PK/PD modeling is the mathematical approaches of the relationships between PK and PD. This approach in new drug development can be estimated inaccessible PK and PD parameters, evaluated competing hypothesis, and predicted the response under new conditions. Additionally, PK/PD modeling provides the information about systemic conditions for understanding the pharmacology and biology. These advantages of PK/PD model development are to provide the early decision-making information in new drug development process, and to improve the prediction power for the success of clinical trials. The purpose of this review article is to summarize the PK/PD modeling process, and to provide the theoretical and practical information about widely used PK/PD models. This review also provides model schemes and the differential equations for the development of PK/PD model.
