    This study introduces a novel optimization method using an Archimedes spiral to identify drug distribution rate constants in a four-compartment model. The technique efficiently determines unknown parameters, offering a new approach for pharmacokinetic analysis.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics
    • Mathematical Modeling
    • Drug Distribution Studies

    Background:

    • Understanding drug distribution is crucial for effective therapeutic strategies.
    • Compartment models are widely used to describe drug behavior in the body.
    • Accurate identification of distribution rate constants is essential for pharmacokinetic modeling.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a new optimization method for identifying distribution rate constants.
    • To apply this method to a four-compartment model with elimination from the central compartment.
    • To compare the results with the generalized least square method.

    Main Methods:

    • A four-compartment model was utilized, with reversible connections between compartments.

  • Drug concentrations in the central compartment were measured over time.
  • An optimization method involving an Archimedes spiral was employed to reduce unknowns to a single variable.
  • The global minimum of a single-variable functional was determined.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed optimization method successfully identified distribution rate constants.
    • The method demonstrated efficiency in solving for multiple unknowns.
    • Results were comparable to those obtained using the generalized least square method.

    Conclusions:

    • The Archimedes spiral-based optimization method provides a viable alternative for determining pharmacokinetic parameters.
    • This approach simplifies complex pharmacokinetic models for analysis.
    • Further research can explore its application in more intricate drug disposition scenarios.
