Fractional Calculus in Pharmacokinetics [PDF]
J Pharmacokinet Pharmacodyn (2018) 45: 107, 2019We are witnessing the birth of a new variety of pharmacokinetics where non-integer-order differential equations are employed to study the time course of drugs in the body: this is dubbed "fractional pharmacokinetics." The presence of fractional kinetics has important clinical implications such as the lack of a half-life, observed, for example with the ...

Developing a Knowledge Graph Framework for Pharmacokinetic Natural Product-Drug Interactions [PDF]
Journal of Biomedical Informatics 140 (2023) 104341, 2022Pharmacokinetic natural product-drug interactions (NPDIs) occur when botanical natural products are co-consumed with pharmaceutical drugs. Understanding mechanisms of NPDIs is key to preventing adverse events. We constructed a knowledge graph framework, NP-KG, as a step toward computational discovery of pharmacokinetic NPDIs.

Can We Predict Individual Concentrations of Tacrolimus After Liver Transplantation? Application and Tweaking of a Published Population Pharmacokinetic Model in Clinical Practice [PDF]
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring, 2021, 43 (4), pp.490-498, 2023Background: Various population pharmacokinetic models have been developed to describe the pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus in adult liver transplantation. However, their extrapolated predictive performance remains unclear in clinical practice. The purpose of this study was to predict concentrations using a selected literature model and to improve these ...
