    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacokinetics
    • Mathematical Modeling
    • Gastrointestinal Physiology

    Background:

    • Understanding compound absorption in the intestine is crucial for drug development and physiology.
    • Existing methods for assessing intestinal absorption kinetics can be time-consuming and resource-intensive.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate mathematical models for assessing compound absorption kinetics in a perfused intestinal segment.
    • To describe compound concentration decline considering active, passive, and combined transport mechanisms.

    Main Methods:

    • Modeled the intestinal segment as a series of infinitesimal cylinders.
    • Calculated key kinetic parameters: maximal transport velocity (Vmax), Michaëlis-Menten constant (Km), and permeability coefficient (P).
    • Developed a computer program to implement the mathematical expressions and validated models using jejunal and ileal perfusions of bile acids in healthy volunteers.

    Main Results:

    • The mathematical models demonstrated feasibility and accuracy in predicting compound absorption.
    • Validation using bile acid perfusions showed a good fit with measured data (average standard deviation of 0.14 mmol/l).
    • The models effectively reduced the number of perfusions required to determine absorption kinetics.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed computer models are practical tools for assessing intestinal absorption kinetics.
    • These models offer a more efficient approach to studying compound absorption compared to traditional methods.
    • The study highlights the utility of mathematical modeling in pharmacokinetic research.
