Pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) analysis is useful study in clinical pharmacology, also PK/PD modeling is major tools for PK/PD analysis. In this study, we sought to characterize the relationship between the cardiovascular effects and plasma concentrations of the beta blocker drugs carvedilol and atenolol using PK/PD modeling in healthy humans. One group received oral doses of atenolol (50 mg) and the other group received oral doses of carvedilol (25 mg). Subsequently, blood samples were taken, and the effects of the drugs on blood pressure were determined. Plasma concentrations of drugs were measured by HPLC, and PK/PD modeling performed by applied biophase model, plasma drug concentrations were linked to the observed systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) via an effect compartment. The model parameters were estimated using the ADAPT II program. In PK/PD analysis, it was observed the time delay between plasma concentration and effect and the time delay between SBP and DBP. The two time delays were properly explained by PD parameter "" in applied biophase model. As conclusion, the biophase PK/PD model described the relationship between the plasma concentrations of the drugs and the cardiovascular effects, including the time delay between systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure.
