5. Preclinical Safety & Toxicity Testing
 Aims at discovering complications or sequelae
arising from the pharmacological actions of
drug and any unexpected side-effects.

6. Primary Goals
Estimate safe starting dose for clinical studies &
subsequent dose escalation schemes in humans.
Identify potential target organs for toxicity and study
whether such toxicity is reversible.
Assess dose dependence & relationship to exposure
Assess hazards that cannot be evaluated in clinical trials
(e.g. carcinogenicity and teratogenicity)
Identify hazards and estimate safe dose range

7. Necessity of toxicity studies
 Completely novel compound of unique action under
consideration
 Any chemical modification made to a known drug
 Formulations of a compound are considered
( Separately as well as formulated form)
 Novel combination of drugs made available as a single
formulation
 Veterinary drugs → if treatment is given to animals
intended for human food

8. Requirements
 Chemical Criteria
 Substance used in toxicity studies should be as pure as
material to be given to man

9. Materials: Animals
 Species:
 Species difference → single largest difficulty in
interpretation of toxicity studies
 Species →health, behaviour, endemic disease and
reaction to well studied toxic agent is familiar
 Two different species(Rodent & Non Rodent) used
 Should differ phylogenetically as widely as possible

10. Materials: Animals
 Species:
 Species in which test material is pharmacologically active
due to presence of receptor should be used
Ex. Avoid dogs for studying toxic effects of
sulphonamides, monkeys are better
 Strains:
 Use either animals derived from random breeding in
a closed colony or hybrids of two inbred lines

11. Materials: Animals
 Number, age and sex:
 Should be sufficient
 Long term experiments i.e. Carcinogen testing, large
number may be necessary to detect relatively low
incidence of the reactions
 Young immature animals are preferred generally → rapid
growth, but for detection of actions on endocrine and
reproductive systems, sexually mature animals are
required
 Should include groups of both males and females

12. Route / Frequency of administration
 Two routes to be used, one should be which is
intended for clinical use
 Aim should be to maintain the appropriate blood and
tissue level of the compound under consideration for
test duration

13. Duration
 Depends on type of the test (acute, sub-acute, chronic)
 All the important toxic effects of test substances can
probably predicted from experiments lasting no more
than three months
 In the absence of any rational basis for choosing a period,
a duration of twice the maximum exposure likely for
the human beings is convenient guide. 2 yrs. max

14. Toxicity Studies
 Systemic Toxicity studies
 Reproductive toxicology studies
 Local Toxicity studies
 Allergenicity/ Hypersensetivity studies
 Genotoxicity studies
 Carcinogenicity studies

15. Systemic
Toxicity Studies

(Subacute)
Repeated dose:
10% life-span
(Subchronic)
Repeated
dose: >10%
life span
(Chronic)
Systemic Toxicity Studies

17. Single-dose (Acute) Toxicity Studies
 Dose – toxicity relationship
 Specific toxic effects
 Mode of toxic action
 Median Lethal dose (LD 50)
 Route dependent toxicity
 Sex dependent toxicity

18. Single-dose (Acute) Toxicity Studies
 Rodent species (mice and rats)
 Use the same route as intended for humans
 Use at least one more route in one of the species. This
 Ensures systemic absorption of the drug
(unless the intended route in humans is only intravenous)
 Recommended limit for oral dosing : Higher value of
either
 2000 mg/kg or
 10 times the normal dose that is intended in humans

19. Single-dose (Acute) Toxicity Studies
 At least 5 animals / sex / group
 At least 4 graded doses (4 dose-groups)
 Observation for toxic effects (if any) : 14 days
 Obsevation for mortality :
 7 days [parenteral administration]
 14 days [oral administration]

20.  Reduction of the number of animals, use of single sex
 Preliminary studies, followed by main test (Limit test)

• Dose escalation every 3rd day, lowered if toxicity seen
• Then test substance given daily for 10 consecutive days

25. Repeated-dose Toxicity Studies
 Duration depends on proposed clinical trial
 At least 2 species, one non-rodent
 Species-specific pharmacokinetics, if any, should
preferably resemble human beings

67. Carcinogenicity

68. Carcinogenicity
 For expected clinical use more than 6 months
 For drugs used frequently in an intermittent manner
 If concern about the carcinogenic potential due to :
 Previous demonstration in the product class
 Structure-activity relationship suggests carcinogenic
risk
 Preneoplastic lesions in repeated dose toxicity studies
 Long-term tissue retention results in reactions

69. Carcinogenicity
 Where life-expectancy in the indicated population is
short (i.e., less
than 2 - 3 years) - no long-term carcinogenicity studies
 Where therapy is generally successful, there may be later
concerns regarding secondary cancers. So
carcinogenicity studies needed
 A rodent species (preferably rat). Mouse only if justified
 Strain should not have normal incidence of spontaneous
tumors

70. Carcinogenicity
 At least 3 dose levels :
 Highest dose : sub-lethal, should not reduce life span
of animals by more than 10% of expected normal
 Lowest dose : should be comparable to the intended
human therapeutic dose or a multiple of it, e.g. 2.5x; to
make allowance for the sensitivity of the species
 Intermediate dose : placed logarithmically between the
other 2
 Untreated control and (if indicated) a Vehicle control
group

71. Carcinogenicity
 Life span comparable to human’s over which drug use is
intended
 Generally, 24 months for rats and 18 months for mice
 Atleast 50 animals of each sex
 Observation parameters
 Physiology, Behaviour, Biochemistry, Pathology
 Comprehensive descriptions of benign and malignant
tumour development, time of their detection, site,
dimensions, histological typing etc
