Physiologically based pharmacokinetic–pharmacodynamic modeling for prediction of vonoprazan pharmacokinetics and its inhibition on gastric acid secretion following intravenous/oral administration to rats, dogs and humans
Vonoprazan is characterized as having a long-lasting antisecretory effect on gastric acid. In this study we developed a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK)-pharmacodynamic (PD) model linking to stomac...
