Models mechanistically based

As discussed in Chapter 7, this form can provide a good fit of the data if the reaction is not too close to equilibrium. However, most reaction engineers prefer a mechanistically based rate expression. This section describes how to obtain plausible functional forms for based on simple models of the surface reactions and on the observation that aU the rates in Steps 2 through 8 must be equal at steady state. Thus, the rate of transfer across the film resistance equals the rate of diffusion into a pore equals the rate of adsorption equals the rate of reaction equals the rate of desorption, and so on. This rate is the pseudohomo-geneous rate shown in Steps 1 and 9. 

PBPK/PD models refine our understanding of complex quantitative dose behaviors by helping to delineate and characterize the relationships between (1) the external/exposure concentration and target tissue dose of the toxic moiety, and (2) the target tissue dose and observed responses (Andersen et al. 1987 Andersen and Krishnan 1994). These models are biologically and mechanistically based and can be used to extrapolate the pharmacokinetic behavior of chemical substances from high to low dose, from route to route, between species, and between subpopulations within a species. The biological basis of... 

For the evaluation of a possible relationship between the molecular structure of a potential candidate and its transport abilities to cross the epithelial membrane of the gut, the mechanism or route of transport must be known [1,4]. This is due to the structural requirements for the transcellular route being different from the paracellular route. During the lead optimization phase - when many mechanistically based studies are performed - the cell culture-based models can also be used with great confidence. 

This mechanistic model is based on the planar adsorption of MP on the solid surface in the same configuration as in the liquid phase, (that is, the most stable configuration, from the energetical point of view, is the one in which the C=0 groups are in a parallel trans position. 

There are many ways of categorizing air quality models. One differentiation is between statistical and deterministic models. The structure of statistical models is based on the patterns that appear in the extensive measured data. The structure of deterministic models is based on mechanistic principles wherever possible. Most deterministic models contain some degree of empiricism. For example, few models, if any, use turbulent-diffiision formulations that are based on first principles, but rather use measured values of dispersion. The same is true in regard... 

Mechanistic models are based on the Law of Mass Action, taking into account concentrations of reagents, binder affinity for the ligand, and assuming that the reaction is at equilibrium as was described in Sect. 1.4. These models are very useful to gain information on the assay system but, in practice, the mechanistic models cannot be adequately defined or the assumptions fully met, so that the resulting models are complicated and not useful for routine analysis.

There were no PBPK models for aluminum located in the literature. However, physiologically and mechanistically based models have been developed using basic information for estimating the deposition and elimination of a range of compounds one recent model is described in ICRP (1994). Although this model is not specific to aluminum, it provides information that may be useful for risk assessment, tissue dosimetry, and species extrapolations.
