Read morePharmacokinetic variability of isoniazid, and its two major metabolites in patients co-infected with tuberculosis and HIV
Objectives: Tuberculosis (TB) is the most common cause of death in HIV-infected individuals. Isoniazid in combination with rifampicin, pyrazinamide and…
Read moreModel-based characterization of drug-drug interaction between isoniazid and rifampicin
Objectives: Rifampicin and isoniazid are the backbone of the current first-line antitubercular therapy. Isoniazid is primarily eliminated by formation of…
Read moreModeling inflammatory biomarker dynamics in human LPS challenge studies using delay differential equations
Objectives: Bacterial infections and sepsis are associated with production of several inflammatory mediators including cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor α…
Read morePredictive performance of a parasite growth dynamics model for the evaluation of anti-malarial drugs: a case study with mefloquine
Objectives: A semi-mechanistic pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PKPD) model was developed to help screen antimalarial compounds in the pre-clinical phase [1]. Assuming that…
