title: Interspecies pharmacokinetic scaling of some iodinated organic acids.
abstract: We have investigated the possibility of interspecies scaling of relationships between the structure and total plasma clearance in a group of nine organic acids (iododerivatives of benzoic, phenylacetic and hippuric acids) in rabbits, rats and mice. The intercompound comparison established the dependence of total plasma clearance predominantly on the molecular structure in all the animals under study, but the dependence on drug lipophilicity was also meaningful. For interspecies scaling of total plasma clearance, the use of a biological clock with an effective renal plasma flow as the unit seemed most suitable and is probably connected with the principal role of the kidney in the elimination of the compounds under study.
