FORUM SERIES Genetic Toxicity Assessment: Employing the Best Science for Human Safety Evaluation Part III: The Comet Assay as an Alternative to In Vitro Clastogenicity Tests for Early Drug Candidate Selection
Early screening of drug candidates for genotoxicity typically includes an analysis for mutagenicity in bacteria and for clastogenicity in cultured mammalian cells. In addition, in recent years, an early assessment of photogenotoxicity potential has become increasingly important. Also, for screening purposes, expert computer systems can be used to identify structural alerts. In cases where struc...
متن کاملCurrent and future application of genetic toxicity assays: the role and value of in vitro mammalian assays.
With the advent of new technologies (e.g., genomics, automated analyses, and in vivo monitoring), new regulations (e.g., the reduction of animal tests by the European REACH), and new approaches to toxicology (e.g., Toxicity Testing in the 21st Century, National Research Council), the field of regulatory genetic toxicology is undergoing a serious re-examination. Within this context, Toxicologica...
متن کاملDeveloping a Method for Assessing and Managing the Risk of Covid-19; Rapid Covid-19 Hazard analysis
Background and aims: Work environments are constantly changing under the influence of various factors and newer risks are introduced. Rapid changes in science and technology, increasing the complexity of the industry, increased system integration and other factors have been shown to increase total risk in the past few decades. As well, risk management becomes increasingly critical in decreasing...
متن کاملIdentification and assessment of hazard in the Refractory Brick Production Company of Gonabad, Iran, using the hazard and operability technique
Background: In the refractory brick manufacturing industry, because of the high risks associated with the level of dust in the factory environment and thermal stress, a precise identification of industrial hazards is required as a part of safety analysis. The aim of this study was to introduce a preventive approach to risk identification and assessment in the refractory brick production ...
متن کاملHazard assessment for a pharmaceutical mixture detected in the upper Tennessee River using Daphnia magna
Widespread use of pharmaceuticals has resulted in mixture concentrations ranging from mg/L in effluent to µg/L concentrations in surface water. In a 2008 study, 13 pharmaceuticals, ranging in amounts from 0.0028 to 0.1757 µg/l, were identified in the Tennessee River, USA and its tributaries. In order to address the need for risk assessment of environmentally relevant pharmaceutical mixtures, <e...
