7-Ethoxycoumarin (7-EC) and 7-hydroxycoumarin (7-HC) were chosen as model compounds to study hepatic and extra-hepatic metabolism in rat tissue subcellular (microsomal and S9) fractions and to scale the observed in vitro clearance to in vivo plasma clearance. 7-EC and 7-HC showed significant metabolic degradation in liver subcellular fractions as compared to subcellular fractions obtained from intestine, kidney, lung and brain. The total in vitro metabolic clearance for 7-EC and 7-HC was determined by adding the individual in vitro organ clearance values obtained in hepatic and extra-hepatic microsomes or S9 fractions. The predicted in vivo clearance for 7-HC was 63.6 and 81.6 ml/min/kg by in vitro scaling from microsomes and S9 fractions, respectively. For 7-EC, the values were 78.5 and 76.8 ml/min/kg, respectively. The predicted clearance was found to be reasonably accurate with slight over- and underprediction. Interestingly, the relative contribution of hepatic and extra-hepatic metabolism to the total clearance of 7-EC and 7-HC was remarkably high, ranging from 62-77% and 22-38%, respectively, of the total metabolic clearance. It is concluded that the model of multi-organ subcellular fractions is a useful in vitro tool for the prediction of in vivo metabolic clearance, as it can provide information about the relative contribution of extra-hepatic and hepatic metabolism to total metabolic clearance.
