- 4. Simcyp Background
“Simcyp” stands for simulating CYPs (a super family of
metabolising enzymes).
Simcyp is a spin-out company of the University of Sheffield
founded in 2001.
Simcyp activities and future developments are guided by a
consortium of pharmaceutical companies (the Simcyp
consortium).
The Simcyp® Population-Based ADME Simulator is a platform
and database for „bottom-up‟ mechanistic modelling and
simulation of the ADME processes of drugs and drug
candidates in healthy and disease populations.

- 5. Pharmacology, PK and PD
Pharmacology is the study of how drugs interact with living
organisms to produce a change in function. The field encompasses
drug composition and properties, interactions, toxicology, therapy,
and medical applications and antipathogenic capabilities.
Pharmacokinetics (PK) is a branch of pharmacology dedicated to
the determination of the fate of substances administered externally
to a living organism.
Or, what the body does to a substance.
Pharmacodynamics (PD) is the study of the biochemical and
physiological effects of drugs on the body, the mechanisms of drug
action and the relationship between drug concentration and effect.
Or, what the substance does to the body.

- 6. In Vitro - In Vivo Extrapolation (IVIVE)
In vitro (Latin: within the glass) refers to the technique of
performing a given procedure in a controlled environment
outside of a living organism.
In vivo (Latin for "within the living") refers to experimentation
using a whole, living organism as opposed to a partial or dead
organism.

- 10. ADME
PK is often divided into several areas including, but not limited to, the
extent and rate of Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Excretion
(ADME).
Absorption is the process of a substance entering the body through mouth.
Distribution is the dispersion or dissemination of substances throughout
the fluids and tissues of the body.
Metabolism is the irreversible transformation of substances and its
daughter metabolites.
Excretion is the elimination of the substances from the body. In rare cases,
some drugs irreversibly accumulate in a tissue in the body.
The biological, physiological, and physicochemical factors influence the
rate and extent of ADME of drugs in the body.

The Clearance (Cl) of a drug is the volume of plasma from
which the drug is completely removed per unit time. The
amount eliminated is proportional to the concentration of
the drug in the blood.

Metabolism mainly happens in the liver but it can happen in
the gut and to much lesser degree in the kidney.
Intrinsic hepatic (gut) clearance (CLint): The ability of the liver
(gut) to remove xenobiotic from the blood in the absence of
other confounding factors (e.g., QH).

- 52. Maximum a Posterior (MAP) Objective Function
MAP estimation is a Bayesian approach in the sense that it can exploit an
additional information on the supplied experimental data.
Consequently if the user has prior knowledge regarding the experimental data
then the MAP should in theory provide more accurate estimations of the design
parameters than the Maximum Likelihood which only requires experimental
measurements.
MAP differs from ML in that MAP assumes the parameter θ is also a random
variable which has a prior distribution p(θ)

- 53. Expectation-Maximisation (EM) Algorithm
In order to determine the ML or MAP estimations we need to use an optimisation
algorithm.
The Expectation-Maximisation (EM) algorithm is one of the most popular
algorithms for the iterative calculation of the likelihood estimates.
The EM algorithm was first introduced by Dempster et al (Dempster, Laird et al.
1977) and was applied to a variety of incomplete-data problems and has two steps
which are the E-step and the M-step.
E-step:
Determining the conditional expectation using Monte Carlo (MC) sampling and
updating MC pool for each individual after each iteration
M-step:
Maximise this expectation with respect to θ and updating population parameters
and variance model parameters
