This study introduces a simple computational method to estimate uncertainty in physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models. The approach uses Monte Carlo simulation to assess parameter variability and improve dose estimation for chemical exposures.

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacokinetics and toxicokinetics
  • Computational modeling
  • Risk assessment

Background:

  • Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models are increasingly used for estimating tissue doses from chemical exposures.
  • Current PBPK models often lack methods to account for parameter uncertainty and variability.
  • Addressing uncertainty is crucial for evaluating model predictive power and identifying key parameters influencing output variability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a versatile and simple computational method for estimating uncertainty in PBPK model outputs.
  • To enable the incorporation of uncertainty analysis into existing PBPK models with minimal code modification.
  • To demonstrate the application of the method using a PBPK model for benzene.

Main Methods:

  • Modification of PBPK models to output results for statistical analysis.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed method allows for the estimation of uncertainty in PBPK model outputs.
    • The computational approach is readily integrated into various PBPK models.
    • The method was successfully applied to a PBPK model of benzene disposition.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented Monte Carlo simulation method provides a practical approach to quantify uncertainty in PBPK models.
    • This method enhances the reliability and interpretability of PBPK model predictions for chemical risk assessment.
    • The approach facilitates the identification of sensitive parameters driving variability in dose estimations.
