    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacokinetics
    • Computational Biology
    • Biopharmaceutics

    Background:

    • Pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis is crucial for understanding drug behavior in the body.
    • Accurate curve fitting is essential for reliable PK parameter estimation.
    • Existing PK analysis tools often require large computer systems.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an interactive computer program for pharmacokinetic curve fitting on small computers.
    • To provide a user-friendly tool for analyzing drug absorption and disposition.
    • To compare the performance of the developed program with existing large-system software.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of an interactive computer program for curve fitting.
    • Implementation of first-order kinetics for absorption processes.
    • Inclusion of optional lag time in the absorption phase.
    • Handling of pharmacokinetic data with or without an absorption phase.

    Main Results:

    • The program successfully performs curve fitting for pharmacokinetic data.
    • It accommodates various absorption scenarios, including first-order kinetics and lag time.
    • Results generated by the program are comparable to those from large computer systems.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed interactive program offers a viable and accessible solution for pharmacokinetic analysis on small computers.
    • This tool can aid researchers in efficiently analyzing drug absorption and disposition data.
    • The program's performance is comparable to established methods, suggesting its utility in the field.
