生物活性
Penicillamine (Cuprimine, Depen) is used as an antirheumatic and as a chelating agent in Wilson’s disease and is a chelating agent recommended for the removal of excess copper in patients with Wilson’s disease. From in vitro studies which indicate that one atom of copper combines with two molecules of penicillamine. Penicillamine also reduces excess cystine excretion in cystinuria. The mechanism of action of penicillamine in rheumatoid arthritis is unknown although it appears to suppress disease activity. Unlike cytotoxic immunosuppressants, penicillamine markedly lowers IgM rheumatoid factor but produces no significant depression in absolute levels of serum immunoglobulins. Also unlike cytotoxic immunosuppressants which act on both, penicillamine in vitro depresses T-cell activity but not B-cell activity.

不同实验动物依据体表面积的等效剂量转换表（数据来源于FDA指南）
| 小鼠 | 大鼠 | 兔 | 豚鼠 | 仓鼠 | 狗 |
| 重量 (kg) | 0.02 | 0.15 | 1.8 | 0.4 | 0.08 | 10 |
| 体表面积 (m2) | 0.007 | 0.025 | 0.15 | 0.05 | 0.02 | 0.5 |
| Km系数 | 3 | 6 | 12 | 8 | 5 | 20 |
| 动物 A (mg/kg) = 动物 B (mg/kg) × | 动物 B的Km系数 |
| 动物 A的Km系数 |
例如，依据体表面积折算法，将化合物用于小鼠的剂量20 mg/kg 换算成大鼠的剂量，需要将20 mg/kg 乘以小鼠的Km系数（3），再除以大鼠的Km系数（6），得到化合物用于大鼠的等效剂量为10 mg/kg。
