Target-Mediated Drug Disposition
Target-mediated drug disposition (TMDD) is a mechanistic framework describing nonlinear pharmacokinetics arising from drug binding to a target receptor or protein. Developed by Mager and Jusko in 2001, TMDD explains saturable clearance, dose-dependent half-lives, and time-dependent changes in plasma concentrations observed with protein therapeutics and some small-molecule drugs.
