Human-on-a-Chip (HoaC) systems are becoming valuable tools to study, understand disease physiology, and expand the prediction of pharmacodynamic effects before first-in-human studies. They can also be used to evaluate the toxic effects of compounds in non-pharma industries where these effects cannot be examined in vivo.

Quantitative Systems Toxicology Modeling Using DILIsym Suggests That Drug-Induced Liver Injury (DILI) Can Be Enhanced by Co-administered Drugs and Mitigated by Mitochondrial Biogenesis

The physiological properties of the gastrointestinal tract, such as pH, fluid volume, bile salt concentration, and gastrointestinal transit time, are highly variable in vivo.

High-Fat Breakfast Increases Bioavailability of Albendazole Compared to Low-Fat Breakfast: Single-Dose Study in Healthy Subjects

High-Fat Breakfast Increases Bioavailability of Albendazole Compared to Low-Fat Breakfast: Single-Dose Study in Healthy Subjects

Publication: Front Pharmacol

Albendazole is a benzimidazole carbamate drug with anthelmintic and antiprotozoal activity against intestinal and tissue parasites. It has been described that the administration with meals increases albendazole absorption.

A novel in silico method to predict drug PK profile in human and its application to build the PBPK model of Hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19 treatment

A novel in silico method to predict drug PK profile in human and its application to build the PBPK model of Hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19 treatment

Authors: Zhai J
Publication: Univ Pittsburgh

The first part of this study is to develop a novel protocol to predict the pharmacokinetic profiles of a target drug based on the Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model of a structurally similar template drug by combining predictions from two software for PBPK modeling, the SimCYP simulator and ADMET Predictor.
