Example of extracting pharmacokinetic study information into PK-DB

Open example study PKDB00057

From a publication to reusable data

PK-DB connects pharmacokinetic measurements with the context needed to interpret and reuse them:

  • Groups and individuals describe the study subjects and their characteristics.
  • Interventions describe administered substances, doses, and routes of administration.
  • Measurements record concentration profiles and pharmacokinetic parameters, including area under the curve (AUC), clearance, and half-life.
  • Study metadata connects those records to the source publication.

Open the study to explore its publication and related records, then follow the web interface guide for searching data and exploring timecourses. See Citing PK-DB when using the database in your work.
