- class pkpd.protocols.protocol_pkpd_monocompartment_clint.ProtPKPDMonoCompartmentClint(**kwargs)[source]¶
Bases:
pkpd.protocols.protocol_pkpd_ode_base.ProtPKPDODEBase
Fit a monocompartmental model to a set of measurements obtained by oral doses (any arbitrary dosing regimen is allowed)
The differential equation is dC/dt = -Clint * C/V + 1/V * dD/dt and Clint=Vmax/(Km+C)
where C is the concentration, Clint the intrinsic clearance, V the distribution volume, Vmax is the maximum
processing capability of the metabolic pathway degrading the drug, Km is the Michaelis-Menten constant,
and D the input dosing regime. Confidence intervals calculated by this fitting may be pessimistic because
it assumes that all model parameters are independent, which are not. Use Bootstrap estimates instead.
