Short description of the in vivo nanoparticle
delivery
The model uses a compartment framework to describe and quantify the transport and delivery efficiency
of nanoparticles in biological systems. The compartments include the administration site, target cell vicinity,
target cell interior, off-target sites and excreta. Biological processes that distribute
nanoparticles between these compartments are expressed as rate constants.
The model also takes into account the nanoparticle biodegradation rate in each compartment.
The rate equations that define the compartmental kinetics model are presented below.
