This book casts new light on the field of oral drug absorption. It outlines both the concept of the past and the novel concept ofFiniteAbsorption Time(FAT). In addition, the authors explore the correlated need for re-definition of bioavailability, bioequivalence providing a plethora of experimental data. Accordingly, this book is intended for academics/students or scientists working in pharmaceutical industries, regulatory agencies, and contract research organizations. It can be used for teaching purposes in under- and post-graduate courses dealing with biopharmaceutics, pharmacokinetics and...

This book provides a concise overview of recent advances in Pharmacokinetics (PK) and Pharmacodynamics (PD). The pharmacokinetics section covers the state of the art inPhysiologically Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling (Chapter 1) as well as the assessment of food effect on drug absorption using PBPK modeling (Chapter 2). Chapters 3 and 4 describe the recent development ofPhysiologically Based Finite Time Pharmacokinetic (PBFTPK) models andtheir applications to pharmacokinetic data. The pharmacodynamics section focuses on PK/PD modeling. Chapter 5 providesan overview of PK/PD modeling and...
