As a researcher in the life sciences space, you can’t measure everything as a project winds its way through the R&D process. With the data that is being generated, you’re expected to make informed decisions as quickly as possible. A wrong one sets you back severely, both in terms of time, money, and getting to market. Now, more than ever, it is important to consider incorporating new technology across your company – like PBPK & PBBM modeling.

GastroPlus - PBPK Modeling and Simulation Platform
FromSimulations Plus
GastroPlus is a simulation software designed for detailed mechanistic modeling of drug absorption across various administration routes including intravenous, oral, ocular, inhalation, dermal, subcutaneous, and intramuscular delivery. It is utilized to simulate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics properties in both humans and animals. The platform integrates user-friendly features with sophisticated scientific methodologies allowing researchers to make rapid and informed decisions based on a comprehensive understanding of biopharmaceutics processes. It provides modules that permit customization based on departmental needs, focusing on areas such as drug-induced liver injury and metabolic diseases. With its robust physiologically-based pharmacokinetics (PBPK) and biopharmaceutics modeling (PBBM) capability, GastroPlus enables the prediction of absorption and systemic processing of complex molecules, assisting in the de-risking of drug development programs.Most popular related searches

What if it were possible to:
- Integrate the data which has been collected and, within the context of a virtual animal or human model, gain unique insights that improve your chances for success?
- Run simulations for different scenarios to avoid costly surprises?
- Utilize the outputs from these models to potentially waive expensive studies requested by regulatory agencies?
It’s possible to do this, and more, with the GastroPlus PBPK modeling platform.
GastroPlus is a mechanistically based simulation software package that simulates intravenous, oral, oral cavity, ocular, inhalation, dermal, subcutaneous, and intramuscular absorption, biopharmaceutics, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics in humans and animals. This smoothly integrated platform combines a user-friendly interface with powerful science to help you make faster and more informed project decisions! GastroPlus has been separated into modules to make it easier for companies to license only the features they need in each department.
What are we providing with GastroPlus?
From the beginning, a conscious decision has been made to carefully implement the best theories and develop novel approaches within the GastroPlus physiologically-based pharmacokinetics (PBPK) & physiologically based biopharmaceutics modeling (PBBM) models. This dedication to science is a major reason why our predictions are consistently ranked #1 in independent comparisons. You provide the (limited) data, GastroPlus provides everything else:
- Simple, intuitive user interface
- Model customization
- High-quality plots & figures for reporting purposes

- Flexible licensing models. Ask us for more details.
- Integration with our other tools. Seamlessly define inputs for your PBPK & PBBM models using the top-rated quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) models from ADMET Predictor®. Strengthen the in vitro-in vivo extrapolation of dissolution & absorption inputs with DDDPlus™ and MembranePlus™. And, inform quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) & toxicology (QST) models to predict drug-induced liver injury (DILI) or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) & nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) – DILIsym® and NAFLDsym®
The in vivo processes which are considered in the GastroPlus simulations, and the methods we’ve introduced to parameterize them, are too numerous to list here – instead, take a peek at the GastroPlus datasheet for more details.
GastroPlus® is software for modeling and the conducting of simulations of properties of drugs or chemicals including absorption, release rate, bioavailability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics; computer software which allows for prediction of drug-to-drug interactions; computer software for the prediction of drug effects on animals and virtual patient populations; computer software which allows researchers to adjust pharmacodynamic models to observed data and to then use the resulting fitted models to predict pharmacodynamic changes due to changes in dose, dosage form, and dosing regimen of a drug or chemical; computer software which allows for the generation of in vitro-in vivo correlations; computer software which allows for the prediction of absorption and systemic distribution/elimination for large molecules.
How is GastroPlus being applied?
