Development and Evaluation of Ontogeny Functions of the Major UDP‐Glucuronosyltransferase Enzymes to Underwrite Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Modeling in Pediatric Populations

Abstract excerpt

Uridine 5'-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) demonstrate variable expression in the pediatric population. Thus, understanding of age-dependent maturation of UGTs is critical for accurate pediatric pharmacokinetics (PK) prediction of drugs that are susceptible for glucuronidation. Ontogeny functions of major UGTs have been previously developed and reported. However, those ontogeny functions are based on in...
