PK Explorer module is a tool for exploring pharmacokinetic curves using physicochemical parameters of drugs as inputs for calculations. It provides the possibility to explore the dependences of oral bioavailability and drug plasma levels on physico-chemical parameters of compounds and dose. It also simulates drug plasma concentration–time (Cp–t) curve. Differential equations describing solubility in the gastrointestinal tract, passive-absorption, first-pass effect in liver and gut, volume of distribution and total body clearance are considered by PK Explorer. 

===Features===
PK Explorer simulates the following dependencies:
* ''%F''–LogP – dependence of oral bioavailability on LogP at defined dose
* ''Cp''(Max)–LogP – dependence of maximum achievable drug concentration on LogP at defined dose
* ''%F''–Dose – bioavailability–dose relationship.
* ''Cp''(Max)–Dose – shows maximum achievable drug plasma levels at different doses
* Cp–Time – simulation of plasma concentration–time curves. Two curves are simulated corresponding for drug plasma levels after oral and intravenous administration.

# Required parameters characterizing absorption (''ka''), total body clearance (''ke''), solubility in gastrointestinal tract (''Sol''GI), volume of distribution (''Vd''), presystemic metabolism in gut and liver (First-pass) are estimated automatically. However, since ''in silico'' predictions of these PK parameters may often lead to significant errors in estimation of drug plasma concentration. Any of these parameters can be changed by entering the new value, and PK simulation can be repeated with new parameters
# Predicted values of ''ka'', ''ke'', ''Sol''GI may also be recalculated if altered values of main physicochemical determinants (LogP and pKa) are entered.
# Along with graphical simulations, numerical values of relevant pharmacokinetic parameters are calculated, including maximum achievable plasma level and the corresponding time (''Cp''(max) and Tmax), area under the concentration time curve (''AUC'') after oral and intravenous administration, as well as oral bioavailability (''%F'').

<li>Required parameters characterizing absorption (ka), total body clearance (ke), solubility in gastrointestinal tract (SolGI), volume of distribution (Vd), presystemic metabolism in gut and liver (First-pass) are calculated automatically. Any of these parameters can be changed by entering the new value, and PK simulation can be repeated with new parameters.

:a. Click to perform a new simulation using the currently specified parameter values.

:b. Click to reverse to an automatically calculated property value (logP in the given figure) for a compound.

:c. Lines indicate which PK input parameters (ka, SolGI) are automatically recalculated according to new logP (or pKa) values.
