several modalities of drug administration have been investigated to improve bioavailability and to reduce 5-fu related toxicity. the aim of present study was to evaluate the effect of skimmed milk on the absorption and metabolism of 5-fu in rabbits, mice and dogs. it was further aimed to determine its route related toxicity in rabbits.    plasma concentration of both 5-fu and its metabolite 5-f...

seeds of the castor bean plant ricinuscommunis l (cb) contain ricin toxin (rt), one of the most poisonous naturally-occurring substances known. ricin toxin, a water-soluble glycoprotein that does not partition into the oil extract, is a ribosome-inactivating toxin composed of two chains, labeled a and b. severity of the toxicity varies depending on the route of exposure to the toxin. inhalation...

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is an incurable fatal brain disorder linked to three disease-related properties that result from α-synuclein accumulation: its misfolding, aggregation, and cellular toxicity. Accelerating αsynuclein degradation might provide therapy by reducing its accumulation. We tested if the lysosome degrades α-synuclein by a specific route, endocytosis, in a budding yeast model for...

there is a continuing need to identify new agents that are active in ovarian cancer. etoposide is a derivative of the plant alkaloid epipodophyllotoxin. the availability of etoposide in oral preparation allows prolonged administration by the oral route. in this study, activity and toxicity of etoposide in women with recurrent ovarian cancer are described from a case series of women with recurre...

Regulatory information requirements for pesticides call for submission of acute systemic toxicity data for up to three different exposure routes (oral, dermal, inhalation) for both active ingredients and formulated products. Similar multi-route testing is required in the European Union and elsewhere for industrial chemicals. To determine the value of acute toxicity testing by more than one rout...
