Quantitative Property-Property Relationship for Screening-Level Prediction of Intrinsic Clearance of Volatile Organic Chemicals in Rats and Its Integration within PBPK Models to Predict Inhalation Pharmacokinetics in Humans.

ABSTRACT: The objectives of this study were (i) to develop a screening-level Quantitative property-property relationship (QPPR) for intrinsic clearance (CL(int)) obtained from in vivo animal studies and (ii) to incorporate it with human physiology in a PBPK model for predicting the inhalation pharmacokinetics of VOCs. CL(int), calculated as the ratio of the in vivo V(max) (μmol/h/kg bw rat) to the K(m) (μM), was obtained for 26 VOCs from the literature. The QPPR model resulting from stepwise linear regression analysis passed the validation step (R(2) = 0.8; leave-one-out cross-validation Q(2) = 0.75) for CL(int) normalized to the phospholipid (PL) affinity of the VOCs. The QPPR facilitated the calculation of CL(int) (L PL/h/kg bw rat) from the input data on log P(ow), log blood: water PC and ionizat
