ABSTRACT: This model was developed with the aim of constructing an equilibrium model of the pharmacokinetic behaviour of a drug exhibiting target-mediated drug disposition (TMDD). TMDD involves the inclusion of drug-target interactions within a pharmacokinetic description, something which is usually considered negligible and subsequently excluded. Two approaches were used, one of which involved a quasi-equilibrium method to describe the kinetics of TMDD.

<h4>Purpose</h4>The aim of this study is to derive and evaluate an equilibrium model of a previously developed general pharmacokinetic model for drugs exhibiting target-mediated drug disposition (TMDD).<h4>Methods</h4>A quasi-equilibrium solution to the system of ordinary differential equations that describe the kinetics of TMDD was obtained. Computer simulations of the equilibrium model were carried out to generate plasma concentration-time profiles resulting from a large range of intravenous b ...[more]
