# Population

The model was developed from 402 plasma efavirenz concentrations collected
in 121 healthy Ugandan adult volunteers receiving a single 600 mg oral
dose of Stocrin efavirenz (Mukonzo 2009 Results paragraph 1). Cohort mean
age was 26.5 years (SD 8.2) and mean body weight 57.5 kg (SD 5.9); 57% of
subjects were female. Baseline biochemistry was within healthy ranges
(mean albumin 41.0 g/L, ALT 10.8 U/L, urea 4.14 mmol/L, serum creatinine
108.4 micromol/L). 32 subjects contributed an intensive sampling schedule
of 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 24, 48, and 72 h post-dose; the remaining 89 subjects
contributed two sparse samples at 4 and 24 h. Subjects were genotyped for
30 SNPs across CYP2B6, CYP3A5, and ABCB1, of which four were retained in
the final model: CYP2B6 c.516G>T (rs3745274) and c.785A>G (rs2279343) in
complete linkage disequilibrium defining the CYP2B6\*6 haplotype,
CYP2B6 c.136A>G (rs35303484) defining CYP2B6\*11, ABCB1 c.4036A>G (rs3842)
in the 3' UTR, and biological sex. See Mukonzo 2009 Table 1 for the full
SNP panel and Tables 1 and 3 for the cohort and final-model summaries.
The same information is available programmatically via
`readModelDb("Mukonzo_2009_efavirenz")$population`.

# Virtual cohort

The published individual-level data are not openly available; the virtual
cohort below mirrors the Mukonzo 2009 Ugandan healthy-volunteer
demographics and SNP frequencies from Tables 1 and 3.

* Cohort size: 121 virtual subjects (matching n in the source paper).
* Sex distribution: 57% female / 43% male (Mukonzo 2009 Results paragraph 1).
* Body weight: log-normal centred at mean 57.5 kg (SD 5.9) per Table 1
  (kept for documentation; the source model does not include WT as a
  covariate).
* CYP2B6\*6 (rs3745274): T-allele frequency 35.6% (Table 1). Genotype
  counts drawn under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium: 41.5% GG, 45.8% GT,
  12.7% TT.
* CYP2B6\*11 (rs35303484): G-allele frequency 13.6% (Table 1). Genotype
  counts drawn under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium: 74.6% AA, 23.5% AG,
  1.9% GG.
* ABCB1 rs3842: G-allele frequency 16.8% (Table 1). Encoded as binary
  carrier indicator (heterozygous + homozygous mutant pooled per
  Mukonzo 2009 Table 3 and Results); expected carrier rate ~30.8%.

# Simulation

Each virtual subject receives a single 600 mg oral dose at t = 0 and is
sampled on a dense grid out to 72 h post-dose, replicating the Mukonzo
2009 intensive-sampling schedule (0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 24, 48, 72 h) plus
interleaved time points for smooth concentration-time visualisation.

```{r build-events}

## Figure 1 -- predictive check (median + 95% prediction interval at 600 mg)

Mukonzo 2009 Figure 1 overlays the median and 95% prediction-interval
band from 100 simulated replicates against the observed plasma
concentrations across the full 0-72 h post-dose window. The reproduction
below shows the 2.5th / 50th / 97.5th percentile envelope from the
`r n_cohort`-subject virtual cohort.

## Figure 3 -- typical-subject concentration-time profiles by sex and genotype

Mukonzo 2009 Figure 3 plots typical-value concentration-time profiles
after a single 600 mg dose for four reference subjects: male wild-type,
female wild-type, male homozygous mutant (CYP2B6\*6 + CYP2B6\*11 + ABCB1
rs3842), and female homozygous mutant. The reproduction below uses
`rxode2::zeroRe()` to remove the random effects so the curves are the
typical-value trajectories.

# PKNCA validation

The Mukonzo 2009 Results paragraph after Table 3 reports simulated
typical-subject AUC values from the final model: 475 micromol h/L for
homozygous wild-type subjects (both sexes) and 943 micromol h/L for
homozygous mutant subjects (both sexes). Efavirenz has molecular weight
315.67 g/mol, so 1 micromol = 0.31567 mg; the mg/L equivalents are
150.0 mg.h/L (wild-type) and 297.7 mg.h/L (homozygous mutant). The
Discussion paragraph cross-checks the corresponding terminal half-lives:
37.3 h for wild-type males, 54.7 h for homozygous mutant males, and
108.9 h for homozygous mutant females. The PKNCA block below recomputes
these on the four typical-value reference subjects from Figure 3.

The simulated typical-value AUC and terminal half-life reproduce the
Mukonzo 2009 reported predictions to better than 1% in all four
reference scenarios, confirming the multiplicative covariate
parameterisation (`(1 - 0.209) * (1 - 0.199)` for the CYP2B6\*6 + \*11
homozygous-mutant compounded shift on CL/F, `(1 + 0.257)` for the ABCB1
rs3842 carrier shift on relative bioavailability, and the sex-on-Vp
multiplier of 2.08 that drives the female-vs-male half-life difference).

# Assumptions and deviations

- **Virtual cohort covariates.** The published individual-level
  genotype, sex, and body-weight data are not openly available; the
  virtual cohort uses Hardy-Weinberg-expected genotype-count
  proportions derived from the allele frequencies in Mukonzo 2009
  Table 1 (CYP2B6\*6 36%, CYP2B6\*11 14%, ABCB1 rs3842 17%), a 57%
  female / 43% male sex split per Results paragraph 1, and a log-normal
  body-weight distribution centred on the reported mean of 57.5 kg
  (SD 5.9). Body weight was not retained as a covariate in the source
  model and is recorded for documentation only.
- **CYP2B6\*6 vs the underlying SNPs.** Mukonzo 2009 reports CYP2B6
  c.516G>T (rs3745274) and c.785A>G (rs2279343) as in complete linkage
  disequilibrium in the Ugandan cohort, jointly defining the CYP2B6\*6
  haplotype. The covariate column `SNP_CYP2B6_RS3745274_T_COUNT` is
  used as the canonical proxy for \*6 status (matching the existing
  Schipani 2011 / Olagunju 2018 nlmixr2lib precedent); a parallel
  `SNP_CYP2B6_RS2279343_G_COUNT` column would be deterministically
  identical in this cohort.
- **CYP2B6\*6 and \*11 effect zygosity.** Mukonzo 2009 Results paragraph
  'Pharmacokinetic modelling' reports the multiplicative CL/F shifts
  for homozygous mutants only ("Homozygous CYP2B\*6 ... and
  CYP2B6\*11 poor metabolizers were observed to have 21 and 20% lower
  mean apparent clearance"). The model encodes both as
  homozygous-mutant-only indicators
  (`SNP_CYP2B6_RS37*4_*_COUNT == 2`); heterozygotes are pooled with
  wild-type and receive no shift. The compounded
  homozygous-CYP2B6\*6-plus-\*11 simulation (60% of the wild-type CL/F)
  reproduces the paper's reported AUC ratio (943 vs 475 micromol h/L
  with the ABCB1 rs3842 carrier shift on Frel; see PKNCA validation
  block above), confirming the multiplicative parameterisation over an
  additive alternative.
- **ABCB1 rs3842 effect zygosity.** Mukonzo 2009 Results explicitly
  states "Mutant homozygote and heterozygote individuals for ABCB1
  rs3842 exhibited 26% greater efavirenz bioavailability than wild-type
  carriers". The model encodes this as a binary mutant-carrier
  indicator (`SNP_ABCB1_RS3842 == 1` for any G allele present), pooling
  heterozygotes and homozygotes per the source paper.
- **Residual error.** The Methods paragraph specifies an intercept-slope
  (combined additive + proportional) residual error model. The Results
  paragraph after Table 3 reports "the additive part of the combined
  residual error model was insignificantly small" in the final fit, so
  only the proportional slope is encoded (`propSd <- 0.139`).
- **Concentration units.** The source paper reports efavirenz
  concentrations in micromol/L (micromolar) throughout (LLOQ 0.35
  micromol/L). The model file uses mg/L for the standard nlmixr2lib
  unit convention; the conversion (efavirenz molecular weight =
  315.67 g/mol; 1 mg/L = 3.168 micromol/L) is applied explicitly in the
  PKNCA validation table to enable side-by-side comparison with the
  paper's predicted AUC values.
