X Abstract

1. The pharmacokinetics of frusemide have been compared in 3 non-human primate species after single intravenous dose of 3 mg/kg of the drug. 2. Peak mean plasma concentrations of frusemide were 31.6, 33.6, 43.6 micrograms/ml in the rhesus monkey, cynomolgus monkey and baboon respectively, and concentrations declined with a half-life of about 20 min. 3. There were no notable differences in the pharmacokinetic parameters estimated from either a one-compartment or two-compartment open model. 4. There were statistically significant species-related differences in clearance, half-lives and volumes of distribution adjusted for bodyweight. 5. The pharmacokinetics of frusemide in the cynomolgus monkey are closer to those in man than are those in the rhesus monkey, the baboon or other commonly used laboratory animal species.
