How rxode2 assigns compartment numbers

rxode2 automatically assigns compartment numbers when parsing. For example, with the Mavoglurant PBPK model the following model may be used:

#> rxode2 3.0.2.9000 using 2 threads (see ?getRxThreads)
#>   no cache: create with `rxCreateCache()`
pbpk <- function() {
  model({
    KbBR = exp(lKbBR)
    KbMU = exp(lKbMU)
    KbAD = exp(lKbAD)
    CLint= exp(lCLint + eta.LClint)
    KbBO = exp(lKbBO)
    KbRB = exp(lKbRB)

    ## Regional blood flows
    # Cardiac output (L/h) from White et al (1968)
    CO  = (187.00*WT^0.81)*60/1000 
    QHT = 4.0 *CO/100
    QBR = 12.0*CO/100
    QMU = 17.0*CO/100
    QAD = 5.0 *CO/100
    QSK = 5.0 *CO/100
    QSP = 3.0 *CO/100
    QPA = 1.0 *CO/100
    QLI = 25.5*CO/100
    QST = 1.0 *CO/100
    QGU = 14.0*CO/100
    # Hepatic artery blood flow
    QHA = QLI - (QSP + QPA + QST + QGU) 
    QBO = 5.0 *CO/100
    QKI = 19.0*CO/100
    QRB = CO - (QHT + QBR + QMU + QAD + QSK + QLI + QBO + QKI)
    QLU = QHT + QBR + QMU + QAD + QSK + QLI + QBO + QKI + QRB

    ## Organs' volumes = organs' weights / organs' density
    VLU = (0.76 *WT/100)/1.051
    VHT = (0.47 *WT/100)/1.030
    VBR = (2.00 *WT/100)/1.036
    VMU = (40.00*WT/100)/1.041
    VAD = (21.42*WT/100)/0.916
    VSK = (3.71 *WT/100)/1.116
    VSP = (0.26 *WT/100)/1.054
    VPA = (0.14 *WT/100)/1.045
    VLI = (2.57 *WT/100)/1.040
    VST = (0.21 *WT/100)/1.050
    VGU = (1.44 *WT/100)/1.043
    VBO = (14.29*WT/100)/1.990
    VKI = (0.44 *WT/100)/1.050
    VAB = (2.81 *WT/100)/1.040
    VVB = (5.62 *WT/100)/1.040
    VRB = (3.86 *WT/100)/1.040

    ## Fixed parameters
    BP = 0.61      # Blood:plasma partition coefficient
    fup = 0.028    # Fraction unbound in plasma
    fub = fup/BP   # Fraction unbound in blood

    KbLU = exp(0.8334)
    KbHT = exp(1.1205)
    KbSK = exp(-.5238)
    KbSP = exp(0.3224)
    KbPA = exp(0.3224)
    KbLI = exp(1.7604)
    KbST = exp(0.3224)
    KbGU = exp(1.2026)
    KbKI = exp(1.3171)

    d/dt(Rest_of_Body) = QRB*(Arterial_Blood/VAB - Rest_of_Body/KbRB/VRB)
  })
}

If you look at the printout, you can see where rxode2 assigned the compartment number(s)

In this case, Venous_Blood is assigned to compartment 15. Figuring this out can be inconvenient and also lead to re-numbering compartment in simulation or estimation datasets. While it is easy and probably clearer to specify the compartment by name, other tools only support compartment numbers. Therefore, having a way to number compartment easily can lead to less data modification between multiple tools.

Changing compartment numbers by pre-declaring the compartments

To add the compartments to the rxode2 model in the order you desire you simply need to pre-declare the compartments with cmt. For example specifying is Venous_Blood and Skin to be the 1st and 2nd compartments, respectively, is simple:

pbpk2 <- function() {
  model({
    ## Now this is the first compartment, ie cmt=1
    cmt(Venous_Blood)
    ## Skin may be a compartment you wish to dose to as well,
    ##  so it is now cmt=2
    cmt(Skin)
    KbBR = exp(lKbBR)
    KbMU = exp(lKbMU)
    KbAD = exp(lKbAD)
    CLint= exp(lCLint + eta.LClint)
    KbBO = exp(lKbBO)
    KbRB = exp(lKbRB)

    ## Regional blood flows
    # Cardiac output (L/h) from White et al (1968)m
    CO  = (187.00*WT^0.81)*60/1000;
    QHT = 4.0 *CO/100;
    QBR = 12.0*CO/100;

The first two compartments are Venous_Blood followed by Skin.

Appending compartments to the model

You can also append “compartments” to the model. Because of the ODE solving internals, you cannot add fake compartments to the model until after all the differential equations are defined.

For example this is legal:

ode.1c.ka <- function(){
  model({
    C2 = center/V
    d / dt(depot) = -KA * depot
    d/dt(center) = KA * depot - CL*C2
    cmt(eff)
  })
}

ode.1c.ka <- ode.1c.ka()
print(ode.1c.ka)
#>  -- rxode2-based free-form 2-cmt ODE model -------------------------------------- 
#> 
#> States ($state or $stateDf): 
#>   Compartment Number Compartment Name
#> 1                  1            depot
#> 2                  2           center
#>  -- Model (Normalized Syntax): -- 
#> function() {
#>     model({
#>         C2 = center/V
#>         d/dt(depot) = -KA * depot
#>         d/dt(center) = KA * depot - CL * C2
#>         cmt(eff)
#>     })
#> }

You can see this more clearly with the underlying classic rxode2 model:

ode.1c.ka$simulationModel
#> using C compiler: ‘gcc (Ubuntu 11.4.0-1ubuntu1~22.04) 11.4.0’
#> rxode2 3.0.2.9000 model named rx_664e7516329b02ba446b3e3d82b444bb model (ready). 
#> x$state: depot, center
#> x$stateExtra: eff
#> x$params: V, KA, CL
#> x$lhs: C2

But compartments defined before all the differential equations is not supported; So the model below:

ode.1c.ka <- rxode2({
    cmt(eff)
    C2 = center/V;
    d / dt(depot) = -KA * depot
    d/dt(center) = KA * depot - CL*C2
})

will give an error:

Error in rxModelVars_(obj) : 
  Evaluation error: Compartment 'eff' needs differential equations defined.
