Model-Based Equivalent Dose Optimization to Develop New Donepezil Patch Formulation.

ABSTRACT: Donepezil patch was developed to replace the original oral formulation. To accurately describe the pharmacokinetics of donepezil and investigate compatible doses between two formulations, a population pharmacokinetic model for oral and transdermal patches was built based on a clinical study. Plasma donepezil levels were analyzed via liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry. Non-compartmental analyses were performed to derive the initial parameters for compartmental analyses. Compartmental analysis (CA) was performed with NLME software NONMEM assisted by Perl-speaks-NONMEM, and R. Model evaluation was proceeded via visual predictive checks (VPC), goodness-of-fit (GOF) plotting, and bootstrap method. The bioequivalence test was based on a 2 × 2 crossover design, and parameters of AUC a
