  Population pharmacokinetic analysis of isoniazid, acetylisoniazid, and
  isonicotinic acid in healthy volunteers. *Antimicrob Agents Chemother*

* Description: Parent-and-metabolites population PK model with a
  two-compartment isoniazid (INH) disposition feeding a two-compartment
  acetylisoniazid (AcINH) and a one-compartment isonicotinic acid (INA)
  metabolite chain. The NAT2 trimodal acetylator phenotype (rapid /
  intermediate / slow) selects between three typical CL/F values; creatinine
  clearance enters the AcINH clearance as a power-law covariate.

# Population

Seng 2015 enrolled 33 healthy Asian adults (Singapore) from a crossover
study primarily examining efavirenz pharmacokinetics in the presence of
rifampin. Subjects were prior stratified by CYP2B6 516 genotype (23 GG,
10 TT) and given a single 300 mg oral isoniazid dose on day 14 of a
14-day daily rifampin + isoniazid arm; plasma samples were drawn at 0,
1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 18, and 24 h after the final INH dose (Methods
pages 6791-6792).

Baseline demographics from Table 1:

| Covariate | Value (median [range]) |
|-----------|------------------------|
| Age (years)                  | 33 (22-56)            |
| Body weight (kg)             | 62.5 (45.8-86.1)      |
| Creatinine clearance (mL/min)| 113.1 (52.3-174.6)    |
| Sex (male / female)          | 23 / 10               |
| Race (Chinese / Malay / Indian) | 21 / 7 / 5         |
| NAT2 acetylator (rapid / intermediate / slow) | 7 / 15 / 11 |

The model's `population` metadata is available programmatically:

## VPC simulation (analogous to Figure 4)

Seng 2015 Figure 4 reports a visual predictive check of the final model
against observed INH, AcINH, and INA concentration-time data after a
single 300 mg oral dose. Because the underlying observations are not
public, the figure below replicates the simulation side only -- median
and 5th / 95th percentiles of the model-predicted concentration-time
profiles -- and serves as a sanity check that the packaged model
reproduces the shape and magnitude of the published prediction band.

```{r figure-4-vpc}

# PKNCA validation

PKNCA is computed separately for each output (INH, AcINH, INA) so the
per-analyte Cmax / AUC / half-life can be compared against the source
paper's reported simulation summaries. Each PKNCA formula carries
`phenotype + dose_label` as the treatment grouping so per-group
summaries map directly to Seng 2015 Figure 5 (Cmax by phenotype and
dose).

## Comparison against Seng 2015 Figure 5 INH Cmax thresholds

Seng 2015 Figure 5 + Results page 6794-6795 report the proportion of
simulated subjects with INH Cmax falling outside the therapeutic
envelope of 3-6 mg/L for each NAT2 phenotype at the 200 mg and 300 mg
dose levels. The table below compares the packaged-model proportions
(this run) against the published numbers; the 300 mg / slow row's "all
subjects above 6 mg/L" pattern is the dosing-safety signal that drove
Seng's recommendation for phenotype-tailored dosing.

```{r seng-fig5-comparison}

    `% Cmax > 6 mg/L (sim)`       = paste0(pct_above_6, flag_pct_above_6),
    `% Cmax > 6 mg/L (Seng 2015)` = pct_above_6_pub

                             "* differs from the published proportion by >20 percentage points."))
```

The simulated proportions track the published proportions for both the
"% below 3 mg/L" subtherapeutic and "% above 6 mg/L" supratherapeutic
categories across phenotypes and doses. The slow-acetylator group's
near-universal supratherapeutic exposure at both 200 mg and 300 mg
matches Seng's primary clinical conclusion (Discussion page 6796):
"intermediate and slow acetylators may need lower doses to achieve
optimal INH plasma exposure."

# Assumptions and deviations

- **NAT2 phenotype encoding.** The three-level rapid / intermediate /
  slow phenotype is encoded with the paired canonical binary indicators
  NAT2_RAPID and NAT2_SLOW (registered in `inst/references/covariate-columns.md`
  alongside this extraction; joint reference both = 0 is the
  intermediate group). Seng 2015's NONMEM source-paper parameterisation
  has the rapid (fast) acetylator group as the structural reference and
  reports proportional CL/F reductions of 0.5 (intermediate) and 0.9
  (slow); the packaged model reproduces these by storing the three
  typical-CL/F values explicitly (`lcl_fast`, `lcl_int`, `lcl_slow`) and
  selecting between them by indicator algebra in `model()`. A single IIV
  on CL/F (`etalcl`, 14.4%) is shared across all three phenotypes per
  Seng 2015 Discussion page 6797 ("the interindividual variability in
  CL/F cannot be estimated separately for the fast, intermediate, and
  slow eliminator subgroups").
- **Allometric scaling on fixed volumes.** Seng 2015 fixes the AcINH
  central volume (V_3) and the INA volume (V_4) at 17 L from Boxenbaum
  & Riegelman 1976 to keep the metabolite model identifiable, and
  describes "all clearance and volume terms" as allometrically scaled
  by body weight (Results page 6794). The packaged model applies the
  (WT/63)^1 allometric scaling on top of the fixed reference 17 L so
  individual-subject volumes scale away from the reference 63 kg; the
  typical-value 17 L is recovered at the reference weight.
- **Metabolite mass balance.** Seng 2015 expresses concentrations of
  INH (137 g/mol), AcINH (179 g/mol) and INA (123 g/mol) in mg/L without
  applying explicit molecular-weight conversion at the metabolite-
  formation steps. The packaged model preserves this NONMEM convention:
  the F_AcINH and F_INA fractions act on mass-rate fluxes between
  compartments, so the simulated metabolite concentrations are on the
  same mass basis the source paper modelled and reported. Users who
  need molar mass balance can convert post-hoc with the molecular
  weights above.
- **Bioavailability variability.** F_INH is fixed at the structural
  anchor of 1 with an estimated log-normal IIV of 31.6% (Methods page
  6791-6792: "F_INH is not estimated due to a lack of pharmacokinetic
  data from intravenous dosing"). The exp(lfdepot + etalfdepot)
  parameterisation can produce individual F values modestly above 1;
  this is the standard NONMEM idiom for "F = 1 with IIV" inherited from
  Seng 2015.
- **VPC observed band.** Seng 2015 Figure 4 shows observed median + 5th
  / 95th percentiles overlaid on the simulation band. The packaged-
  model vignette replicates only the simulation envelope because the
  underlying observed concentrations are not publicly available; the
  validation against published numbers is concentrated in the Figure 5
  Cmax-threshold comparison instead.
- **WHO weight-band dose simulation.** Seng 2015 Figure 5 evaluates 200
  mg in the 30-45 kg weight band and 300 mg in the >45 kg band. The
  vignette applies BOTH dose levels to every virtual subject so the
  dose-by-phenotype interaction can be compared cleanly against the
  published proportions; this is a population-level simulation choice
  and is documented here as a deviation from the source paper's
  weight-band-conditioned design.
