Summary

For this study of dihydroergosine pharmacokinetic modelling and simulation, the data from our paper about3H-DHESN plasma, bile, urine, and faeces concentrations after intravenous and oral administration were used (1). The model obtained with the identified parameters was in agreement within vivo data. Certain special phenomena, such as the enterohepatic cycle and incomplete absorption, were taken into account. Analog-hybrid simulation and identification represents an effective tool for such studies. In spite of the limited validity of the availablein vivo data, the work represents a first step in the introduction of DHESN into human medicine.
