Phencyclidine pharmacokinetic scaling among species.
Interspecies pharmacokinetic parameters (y) for phencyclidine [1-(1-phenylcyclohexyl)piperidine] were correlated with body weight (B) using linear regression and the allometric equation of the form y = aBx (which also may be written as the linear regression equation, log y = x log B + log a). The data were obtained from previously reported pharmacokinetic studies in mammals (i.e., humans, monkey, dog, rat and mouse) and new pharmacokinetic data for the pigeon. The animal body weights ranged from 32.5 to 77,000 g and included 6 animal species from 2 vertebrate classes. The pharmacokinetic parameters correlated with body weight were T1/2 (T1/2 = 126B0.32, r2 = 0.799), volume of distribution (V beta = 10B0.96, r2 = 0.966) and systemic clearance (CLs = 50B0.64, r2 = 0.891). In addition, clearance values were multiplied by the maximum lifespan potential (MLP) of each animal and correlated with body weight [CLs X MLP = (3.3 X 10(5))B1.0, r2 = 0.991]. This helped normalize for species differences in systemic clearance, which correlated with species longevity. These allometric equations should provide the information for scaling phencyclidine pharmacokinetic data among diverse species.
