1

Calculated by dividing rat tissue:air partition coefficient (Lilly et al., 1997) by human blood:air partition coefficient from Kenyon et al. (2016a,b).

2

Gut:air and rapidly perfused tissue:air partition coefficients were assumed to be the same as liver:air.

3

Skin:air partition coefficient (Haddad et al., 2006) used with human blood air partition coefficient to calculate skin:blood partition coefficient.

4

Skin diffusion coefficient determined with method using aqueous solution across human skin (Xu et al., 2002). Skin:water partition coefficient calculated on basis of water:air partition coefficient (Batterman et al., 2002) divided by skin:air partition coefficient (Haddad et al., 2006).

5

Estimated on basis of Tmax from oral time course data of Leavens et al. (2007) and assumed to be the same across age groups.

6

Experimentally determined in pooled adult human microsomes as 1.74 nmoles/min–mg MSP (Kenyon et al., 2016a) and converted to 17.14 mg/h-mg MSP in (Kenyon et al., 2016b) analysis. Converted to basis of CYP 2E1 for this analysis using known average CYP2E1 content (85 pmol CYP2E1/mg MSP) for independent set of adult samples for which both CYP2E1 content and P450 content are known at the level of the individual subject Lipscomb (personal communication).

7

Estimated from in vitro clearance of BDCM from pooled human liver cytosol (Ross and Pegram 2003).
