Key area - Systemic toxicity


Rationale: Knowledge of the effects of acute and chronic exposure to unknown compounds is necessary for hazard and risk assessment The aim of this key area: to identify and validate in vitro tests relevant for target organ (e.g. lung, liver, kidney) and target systemspecific toxicities (e.g. the haemopoietic system and the immune system) to be incorporated into testing strategies for the estimation of human systemic toxicity The final goal: to provide cheaper, more ethical and more scientifically-based testing strategies.

Key area - Systemic toxicity


ECVAMs activities in the area of systemic toxicity cover: Acute systemic toxicity Haematotoxicology Immunotoxicology Chronic systemic toxicity Pulmonary toxicity Biological barriers (intestinal and blood-brain barrier)

Acute oral toxicity - OECD test guidelines


Deletion of TG 401 in 2000

Adoption of TG420, TG423 and TG425 by OECD represents a significant reduction in the number of animals used per test: from ~45 to ~8 animals per substance Recommendations: to take into account the in vitro methods for the determination of the starting dose
OECD TG420: Acute Oral Toxicity - Fixed Dose Procedure OECD TG423: Acute Oral toxicity - Acute Toxic Class Method OECD TG425: Acute Oral Toxicity - Up-and-Down Procedure

In vitro cytotoxicity test: Relatively good correlation (~70%) Certain number of misclassifications Further needs: Improve the in vitro - in vivo correlation by evaluating existing outliers in order to introduce further parameters (ADE, metabolism, organ specificity).
