Description

This on-demand workshop focusses on in silico-based mechanistic prediction of dermal drug absorption. The details of the models used to mechanistically predict skin absorption after topical application will be explained. In addition examples of using mechanistic physiologically-based in vitro-in vivo correlation (IVIVCs), and virtual bioequivalence (VBE) concepts will be presented.

Objectives

Key aspects covered in this course:

  • Recognize the opportunities and challenges in applying quantitative modelling and simulation tools in the field of dermal drug formulation development.
  • Apply the Multi-Phase Multi-Layer (MPML) MechDermA model to simulate drug absorption through the skin.
  • Develop a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) framework for modelling in vitro and in vivo skin permeation of topical and transdermal products, including the establishment of dermal in vitro–in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE).
  • Utilization of IVPT module for the in vitro release and skin permeation simulations and further extrapolation to in vivo situation (IVIVE).
  • Work with a range of topical formulation types, including solutions, emulsions (O/W, W/O), emulsions with solid particles, suspensions, and patches.
  • Understand and model the metamorphosis of topical formulations upon application to the skin surface.
  • Development of mechanistic physiologically-based in vitro-in vivo correlations (IVIVCs) for dermally applied with discussion around case studies.
  • Assess virtual bioequivalence for dermally applied products through case study discussion.
