PopPK model 5-FU
Indication: Colorectal and other gastrointestinal solid tumors
Interactive 5-fluorouracil population PK simulator for gastrointestinal oncology. Uses a two-compartment Michaelis-Menten model for IV bolus-plus-infusion or infusion-only regimens, reflecting saturable elimination of this fluoropyrimidine antimetabolite that disrupts thymidylate synthase and nucleic acid synthesis.

About This Simulator
This interactive pharmacokinetic simulator for PopPK model 5-FU allows you to explore concentration-time profiles under different dosing scenarios. The underlying Population PK (2-compartment Michaelis-Menten) model characterizes the pharmacokinetics of this antimetabolite (fluoropyrimidine) following intravenous bolus + infusion / infusion only administration.
Use the simulator to visualize key exposure metrics including AUC (area under the curve), Cmax (peak concentration), and Ctrough (trough concentration).
Built with PKPDBuilder — an AI-powered platform that transforms published pharmacometric literature into interactive, deployable Shiny applications. No coding required.
