Whole-Body Disposition and Metabolism of [14C]-2,4,4′-Trichlorobiphenyl (PCB28) Following Lung Administration in Rats

Whole-Body Disposition and Metabolism of [14C]-2,4,4′-Trichlorobiphenyl (PCB28) Following Lung Administration in Rats

Publication: Environmental Science & Technology
Software: ADMET Predictor®

Toxicities of lower-chlorinated biphenyls (LC-PCBs) have drawn increasing attention due to growing evidence of their presence in school indoor air, with 2,4,4′-trichlorobiphenyl (PCB28) being a prevalent congener.

Novel Workflow for Non-Animal PBK Modelling of UV Filters: Oxybenzone as a Case Study

Novel Workflow for Non-Animal PBK Modelling of UV Filters: Oxybenzone as a Case Study

Publication: Pharmaceuticals
Software: GastroPlus®

 Physiologically based kinetics (PBK) modelling provides (internal) exposure concentrations. We used a PBK model parameterized exclusively with in silico and in vitro data in a bottom-up approach to predict the pharmacokinetics of oxybenzone, a UV filter, present in two formulations (for which dose-normalized Cmax and AUC from clinical studies were different).
