Abstract

Existing work in pharmacokinetics, the study of the movement of drugs in the body, has largely focused on multicompartmental models, based on ordinary first-order equations with constant flow. Nano-scale Particulate Drug Delivery Systems (PDDS) require better computational models. PDDS has been previously abstracted by the same authors as Molecular Communication (MC) systems, by solving the advection-diffusion problem with time-varying flow. In this paper, this framework is extended to solve the nanoparticle-body interactions problem. The delay and path loss of the system are expressed analytically. The results are validated by finite-element simulations. This model will enable more thorough pharmacokinetics than multicompartmental models.
