Over the last decade, physiologically based pharmacokinetics (PBPK) application has been extended significantly not only to predicting preclinical/human PK but also to evaluating the drug-drug interaction (DDI) liability at the drug discovery or development stage. Herein, we describe a case study to illustrate the use of PBPK approach in predicting human PK as well as DDI using in silico, in vivo and in vitro derived parameters. This case was composed of five steps such as: simulation, verification, understanding of parameter sensitivity, optimization of the parameter and final evaluation. Caffeine and ciprofloxacin were used as tool compounds to demonstrate the "fit for purpose" application of PBPK modeling and simulation for this study. Compared to caffeine, the PBPK modeling for ciprofloxacin was challenging due to several factors including solubility, permeability, clearance and tissue distribution etc. Therefore, intensive parameter sensitivity analysis (PSA) was conducted to optimize the PBPK model for ciprofloxacin. Overall, the increase in $C_{max}$ of caffeine by ciprofloxacin was not significant. However, the increase in AUC was observed and was proportional to the administered dose of ciprofloxacin. The predicted DDI and PK results were comparable to observed clinical data published in the literatures. This approach would be helpful in identifying potential key factors that could lead to significant impact on PBPK modeling and simulation for challenging compounds.

Piperacillin phthalidyl ester was synthesized by reacting piperacillin with triethylamine and bromophthalide in acetone and its chemical structure was determined by UV, IR, and PMR. The partition coefficient of the ester was increased and the ester was more lipophilic and less water soluble than piperacillin. The ester did not show the antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633 in vitro, but when hydrolyzed, the parent drug of ester, piperacillin, revealed antimicrobial activity in vivo. After a single oral dose of both piperacillin and the ester to rabbits, the serum piperacillin concentration was measured by bioassay. The ester exhibited improved pharmatokinetic characteristics: $T_{max}\;of\;2hr,\;C_{max}\;of\;4.26{\mu}g{\cdot}ml^{-1},K_{el}\;of\;0.057hr^{-1},\;and\;total\;AUC\;of\;85.42{\mu}g{\cdot}hr{\cdot}ml^{-1}$. Piperacillin on the other hand, did not exhibit any gastro-intestinal absorption.

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the bioequivalence of two ciprofloxacin tablets, Ciprobay (Bayer Korea Ltd.) and Rofcin (Binex Co., Ltd.), according to the guidelines of Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA). The release of ciprofloxacin from the two ciprofloxacin tablets in vitro was tested using KP XIII Apparatus I method with dissolution media (0.01 M HCl). The dissolution profiles of two ciprofloxacin tablets were very similar at dissolution media. Twenty four healthy male volunteers were divided into two groups and a randomized 2$2{\times}2$2 cross-over study was employed. After one tablet (250 mg ciprofloxacin) was orally administrated, blood was taken and the concentrations of ciprofloxacin in serum were determined using HPLC with UV detector. The pharmacokinetic parameters such as $AUC_t,\;C_{max}\;and\;T_{max}$ were calculated. The results showed that the differences in $AUC_t,\;C_{max}\;and\;T_{max}$ between two ciprofloxacin tablets based on the Ciprobay were -0.63%, 3.98% and -9.23%, respectively. There were no sequence effects between two tablets in these parameter. The 90% confidence intervals using logarithmically transformed data were within the acceptance range of log(0.8) to log(1.25)(e.g., log(0.9520)~log(1.0523) and log(0.9689)~log(1.1663) for $AUC_1\;and\;C_{max}$, respectively). Thus, Rofcin tablet was bioequivalent to Ciprobay tablet.

This study was attempted to investigate the dissolution rate and the bioavailability after oral administration of commercially available aspirin tablets in normal volunteers. The dissolution test was conducted in artificial gastric juice using basket method with three aspirin preparations (A, B and C) which were chemically equivalent. The results were as follows; The dissolution rate was higher in the order of three different brand B>A >C. Area under the blood concentration and peak blood concentration were larger in the order of brand A>B>C. Absorption rate constant and peak time were larger in the order of brand B>A>C, and there was a little difference in elimination rate constant and biological half-life. The correlation of the dissolution rate and absorption rate constant, as well as correlation of the dissolution rate and peak time showed significant linear relationship respectively. From the results of this experiment, it can be concluded that the bioavailability of aspirin tablets showed much difference according to commercial preparations, and that the bioavailability of aspirin tablets in human may be predicted from the results of dissolution rate studies.
