Acid related diseases like GERD, duodenal-and gastric ulcers and H. Pylori-positive peptic ulcer disease are primarily managed by reducing gastric acidity. Irreversible proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) inhibit gastric acid secretion effectively throughout the day by irreversibly inhibiting the gastric proton pump, H+, K+-ATPase, in the parietal cells. Reversible gastric proton pump inhibitors are under development, but have not yet reached clinical use. The pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) relationships of these compounds are nonlinear, with a delay in the effect-time profile compared to the plasma concentration-time course. PK/PD-modelling was used to characterize and quantify the pharmacological effect with regard to onset, intensity and duration of effect. Models based on functional data, that discriminate between drug-and system-specific parameters, were developed. In general, the plasma concentration-time course for each individual was approximated by linear interpolation between time-points and served as input into the pharmacodynamic models. A turnover model of irreversible inhibition of gastric acid secretion by omeprazole in the dog described the data well. The model was challenged and found to be robust under different experimental conditions. This model could predict the effect following different exposure of omeprazole and following different histamine provocation. Different fitting approaches (naïve pooling, standard two-stage and nonlinear mixed effects modelling) were compared and resulted in similar parameter estimates. For the reversible inhibitors, a kinetic binding model was finally selected. With a binding model the delay in the effect-time profile is explained by prolonged binding to the enzyme. Use of these results in drug development can be helpful with regard to selection of drugs for further development and to predict the first clinical dose.
