Abstract

This tutorial presents the workflow of adapting an adult physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model to pregnant populations using the Open Systems Pharmacology (OSP) software suite (www.open-systems-pharmacology.org). This workflow is illustrated using a previously published PBPK model for metronidazole1 that is extrapolated to pregnancy by parameterizing and extending the model structure in terms of pregnancy-induced physiological changes2 . Importantly, this workflow can be applied to other scenarios where PBPK models need to be re-parameterized or structurally modified. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Is the project file of PK-Sim available?

[AndreDlm]

Do you mean the project file for metronidazole, the compound discussed in the tutorial?
This file is available here

Yes. Thanks very much.
