Whole body PBPK model to quantitatively predict ondansetron transfer into breast milk.
Within this repository, we built a lactation PBPK model using an ondansetron pregnancy model [1-2] as a template. This model is evaluated using in vivo concentration data from plasma and breast milk in lactating women. Predictions were based on a virtual lactating population we developed that included anatomic and physiological changes that occur after delivery. Details on model building and evaluation have been published previously [3].
This repository contains the MoBi® file (.mbp3) with the lactation model structure. Please note that this model is not correctly parameterized in terms of the postpartum anatomy and physiology; it just contains the spatial structure and passive transports building blocks of the lactation model.
The postpartum/lactation anatomy and physiology is not integrated in the official release of the PK-Sim® database. Therefore, a database file (.sqlite) with the anatomical and physiological parameters of postpartum individuals is distributed within this repository. There are two database files provided in this repository:
PKSimDB_v9.sqliteis compatible with the PK-Sim® portable version 9.1PKSimDB_v11.sqliteis compatible with the PK-Sim® portable version 11
Please note that for using the database file .sqlite file in PK-Sim® portable it needs to be renamed to PKSimDB.sqlite.
The database file (.sqlite) can be combined with the MoBi® file (.mbp3) for importing and running a postpartum population simulation in the portable version of PK-Sim® as described in detail in the supplement of the article by Job et al. [3].
