Predicting chemical mixture toxicology is challenging. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PBPK/PD) modeling shows promise for simple mixtures, while reaction network modeling offers hope for complex mixtures like gasoline.

Area of Science:

  • Toxicology
  • Computational Chemistry
  • Environmental Health

Background:

  • Assessing the toxicology of numerous chemical mixtures experimentally is infeasible.
  • Computer modeling and mechanistic toxicology offer a viable approach for predicting mixture toxicity.
  • Physiologically based pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PBPK/PD) modeling has been used for simple mixtures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the utility of PBPK/PD modeling for toxicologic interactions in chemical mixtures.
  • To highlight the challenges in predicting the toxicity of complex chemical mixtures.
  • To introduce reaction network modeling as a potential solution for complex mixture toxicology.

Main Methods:

  • Application of PBPK/PD modeling to analyze toxicologic interactions in simple chemical mixtures (≤5 components).
