Currently,a physiologically based pharmacokinetic(PBPK)model plays a key role in pharmaceutical research,which has been widely used at each stage of drug discovery and develop?ment. In the process of drug discovery,the selection of drug candidates is finished using the PBPK model to predict the pharmacokinetic properties of the drugs. In the process of preclinical development , through a combination of in vitro and physiological data amplification coefficient,the PBPK model can be used to predict not only the overall pharmacokinetic behavior of drug candidates in humans and animals and in vitro metabolism experiments,but also drug-drug interactions(DDI). In the course of clinical development,the PBPK model can help predict the difference between reference populations (age,different disease state,and polymorphism),especially the dosage and sampling time of the children. At present,the input parameters of PBPK model are mostly the mean values of the population,making it difficult to serve individuals. It is hoped that the input parameters of the model can reflect more of the individual characters according to the individual requirement,and that the time parameters of the input accord more with the actual physiological condition. In this article ,we briefly introduced the characteristics of common PBPK software,and reviewd the principle and feature of the PBPK model,as well as its application to drug discovery,preclinical development and clinical development,DDI,and individualized medication.

Objective:To understand the genetic variations of the coding gene of the main neutralizing antigen VP7 of G9 group A rotavirus in Xiamen area and the difference between VP7 gene in some domestic and broad areas. Methods:Four types G9 group A rotavirus strains were collected from feces of children with diarrhea in Xiamen Children′s Hospital. The time of collection was October 5, 2017, November 12, 2017, December 7, 2017 and January 15, 2018, respectively. The full-length sequence of type G9 group A rotavirus VP7 gene was obtained by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, and the homology, phylogenetic and amino acid sequence alignment were analyzed by using DNA Star, MEGA and other biological software. Results:Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that the local strain of Amoy CHINA/2018 in Xiamen area and the human/SC7/CHN/2013/G9 local strain in Chengdu City had the most closely relationship in the evolutionary tree clusters, and the homology was far from the Hu/JS2016 local strain in Jiangsu Province. The amino acid sequence analysis showed that compared with the reference strain WI61, the Xiamen local strains had variations in the amino acid primary structure, including D100N and Y144H, which were representative mutation sites in the Amoy CHINA/2018 phylogenetic tree cluster.Conclusion:The full-length genome sequence of the type G9 group A rotavirus VP7 shows that the strain is mutated in China.
