Pharmacokinetic modeling in toxicology: a critical perspective

Pharmacokinetic models provide novel approaches in the environmental arena for evaluating toxicological problems. For example, pharmacokinetic parameters play an important and even determinant role in risk assessment and policy making. The present contribution reviews the most basic pharmacokinetic models, their development, and their applications in toxicology. The theory, principles, and data requirements are critically discussed. The fundamental differences among various pharmacokinetic models are compared and contrasted. The techniques and philosophy for model validation are discussed and illustrated. Resume : Les modeles pharmacodynamiques offrent de nouvelles approches au forum environnemental portant sur l'evaluations des problemes toxicologiques. Par exemple, les parametres pharmacodynamiques jouent un role important et meme determinant dans l'evaluation des risques et la definition des politiques. Les auteurs revoient les modeles pharmacodynamiques de base, leur developpement et leurs applications en toxicologie. La theorie, les principes et les besoins en donnees font l'objet d'une discussion critique. Ils comparent et font ressortir les distinctions fondamentales entre les differents modeles pharmacodynamiques. Ils discutent et illustrent enfin les techniques et la philosophie necessaire pour valider ces modeles. Mots-cles : Pharmacodynamiques, toxicologie, simulation, philosophie, statistique, validation.
