Hi Shankar,

We published an autoinduction model a few years back (Gordi et al., Br J Clin 
Pharmacol. 2005;59(2):189-98). The original paper was based on saliva samples 
but the model worked well using plasma data (Asimus and Gordi, Br J Clin 
Pharmacol. 2007;63(6):758-62). We also used it to describe the PK of the 
compound in a PK/PD model successfully (Gordi et al., Br J Clin Pharmacol. 
2005;60(6):594-604). The basic principal is similar to most other models, i.e., 
an indirect response model describes the enzyme compartment and the effect of 
the drug on production rate of the enzymes. One major difference is that we 
introduced a liver compartment into the system. In all other models I have 
seen, plasma concentrations drive the induction effect. This means that as time 
passes by, and drug concentrations in plasma decrease due to induction, you 
have less and less induction. Having the liver compartment, we allow drug 
concentrations (practically amounts, see the control stream below) in the liver 
upon absorption to induce the enzyme. This means that subsequent doses of the 
drug will have the same inducing effect, which should be closer to the reality.

I am showing a part of the control stream below. In our paper we estimated 
interoccasional variability and I'll be more than happy to help you with 
implementing that, if you want to. A couple of notes to make the coding easier 
to follow: this is based on salivary data, where concentrations reflected the 
free fraction of those in plasma (fu=14%), hence the S3 adjustment. The model 
also includes a precursor compartment to capture the induction lag time. 
Depending on your data, you may want to test a model without it. Finally, the 
model includes a nonlinearity in the intrinsic clearance and extraction ratio 
(and thereby bioavailability) of the drug, which was known for this particular 
compound. You should obviously test a simpler model.  

Let me know if you have any questions.
