Abstract

Determining the penetration of drugs across the blood-brain barrier is a significant challenge in central nervous system drug development. The use of a mechanistic physiologically based pharmacokinetic model can predict drug exposures in the brain without needing <i>in situ</i> drug measurements. <i>Clin Cancer Res; 23(24); 7437-9. ©2017 AACR</i><i>See related article by Li et al., p. 7454</i>.
