TABLE 2

Measured and scaled hepatic intrinsic clearance from the in vitro assays, in comparison with the respective in vivo data among 36 marketed drugs

Not detected: calculated values are below the internal resolution limit criteria (<0.1 µl/min per milligram). For IVIVE with the in vitro data, the following scaling factors were applied irrespective of differences of the two in vitro assay systems (hepatocyte suspension and HepatoPac): hepatocellularity, 120 (106 cells = mg protein/g liver); liver weight, 22 (g liver/kgbw); and body weight, 70 (kgbw). These were generally derived from a system parameter database (Johnson et al., 2005). The in vivo intrinsic hepatic clearance as reference was calculated with the well-stirred model, the in vivo CLh,p, and hepatic blood flow rate (23.2 ml/min per milligram; Johnson et al., 2005). For the marketed drugs, perfusion-limited conditions were applied even though permeability limitations in hepatic elimination may have been reported for some. Key PK parameters used to estimate the in vitro CLint,h,u (upscaled) and in vivo CLint,h,u (reference) were also provided in this table. Derivations of the in vivo CLtot,p are listed in Supplemental Table 1 with the respective literature source information. Documentation for physiologically based pharmacokinetic models for the marketed drugs are provided with the SimCYP software platform and have been verified to show good performance for prediction of PK profiles and drug-drug interaction potential. Therefore, the model input parameters and drug disposition pathways were used for the current assessment.
