<p dir="ltr"><b>The Concentration versus Time Database (CvTdb)</b> contains manually curated time-series data and associated metadata for <i>in vivo</i> toxicokinetic (“TK”) studies on organic chemicals available in the scientific literature. The database has been developed in close coordination with leading researchers at the EPA with specialties relating to toxicology and toxicokinetic modeling. These data inform chemical safety analysis and allow evaluation of the relationship between administered doses and internal concentrations of a substance. These data can also be used to build or evaluate physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) and physiologically-based (PBTK) models (such as the <a href="https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/httk/index.html&data=05|02|Habash.Ziyad@epa.gov|e9e2dee29be34d28e26f08ddc851e8ca|88b378b367484867acf976aacbeca6a7|0|0|638886976319683299|Unknown|TWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ==|0|||&sdata=mwac7vTweYBMDaVFy0bUaGcHLZeLKSwg0jw0kQ1D+gA=&reserved=0" target="_blank"><i>httk</i></a> R package), which simulate the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination of a chemical.
