B : P, blood‐to‐plasma partition ratio; CLint, intrinsic clearance; CLR, renal clearance; fa, fraction absorbed from dosage form; FMO3, flavin‐containing monooxygenase 3; fugut, fraction unbound in the gut; fup, fraction unbound in the plasma; HLM, human liver microsomes; ka, first‐order absorption rate constant; Km, michaelis‐menten constant; PBPK, physiologically based pharmacokinetic; Peff,man, effective permeability in man; pKa acid dissociation constant; Po:w, neutral species octanol : buffer partition coefficient; Qgut, gut blood flow; rCYP1A2, recombinant cytochrome P450 1A2; rUGT, recombinant UDP‐glucuronosyltransferase; Vmax, maximum rate of metabolism; Vss, volume of distribution at steady state

a

Physicochemical data were obtained from the ChEMBL database (https://www.ebi.ac.uk)

b

These parameters were predicted using previously validated functions in Simcyp®. The B : P was predicted from the log Po:w and pKa (monoprotic base) of OLZ. The value of Qgut was predicted from the equation CLperm × Qent/Qent + CLperm, where Qent is the average enterocytic blood flow (18 l h–1) and CLperm is the product of intestinal surface area (defined in Simcyp®) and apparent permeability 66. The value for Peff,man was predicted using physicochemical data and the equation Log (Peff,man) = 4–2.546 – 0.011PSA – 0.278HBD, where PSA is polar surface area and HBD is hydrogen bond donors. The predicted Vss for OLZ was determined using the corrected Poulin and Theil method 67

c

Back calculated based on the clinically observed time to maximum concentration in Shirley et al. [13], according to the method described by Yamazaki et al. 68

d

Based on differences in Vmax between user recombinant expression system [HEK293T cells; 216 (pmol min−1 mg−1) and HLM (486 pmol min−1 mg−1)]

e

fe, fraction excreted unchanged in urine (0.09); CLiv, intravenous clearance (20 l h−1)
