The integration between physiologically-based pharmacokinetics (PBPK) models and pharmacodynamics (PD) models makes it possible to describe the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion processes of drugs, together with the concentration–response relationship, being a fundamental framework with wide applications in pharmacology. Neverthele...

... Other oral, IV, or subcutaneous opioid PBPK models exist for morphine [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48], alfentanil [49][50][51][52], remifentanil [53][54][55], sufentanil [56], tramadol [56][57][58][59][60][61], fentanyl [62][63][64][65][66][67], oxycodone [40,64,68,69], buprenorphine [64,[70][71][72][73][74][75], codeine [76,77], methadone [78][79][80][81][82][83][84], and carfentanil to predict drug-drug interactions and drug disposition in the plasma and various organs. However, carfentanil is one of the few opioids that mention the possible application of PBPK modeling in forensic science. ...

A physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model represents the structural components of the body with physiologically relevant compartments connected via blood flow rates described by mathematical equations to determine drug disposition. PBPK models are used in the pharmaceutical sector for drug development, precision medicine, and the chemical industry to predict safe levels of exposure during the registration of chemical substances. However, one area of application where PBPK models have been scarcely used is forensic science. In this review, we give an overview of PBPK models successfully developed for several illicit drugs and environmental chemicals that could be applied for forensic interpretation, highlighting the gaps, uncertainties, and limitations.
