A physiologically-based pharmacokinetic model for the antibiotic ertapenem by Michele L. Joyner, Cammey C. Manning, Whitney Forbes, Michelle Maiden, Ariel N. Nikas

“…PBPK modeling incorporates known physiological parameters such as body weight, organ volumes, and blood flow rates in particular tissues. Furthermore, ertapenem is highly bound in human blood plasma; therefore, nonlinear binding is incorporated in the model since only the free portion of the drug can saturate tissues and, hence, is the only portion of the drug considered to be medicinally effective. …”
